Watch as everyone says "wow Blain, you went easy on that guy"

No

The only front end pieces that will fit all years are the fenders, everything else doesn't work.

You need to search, there is at least 150 threads with the exact same subject line.

Good luck.

^ Actually, per this thread an 03/04 headlight will fit but there will be major gaps:

Quote: There are headlight lens cleaning products on the market that should clean up your headlights nicely. The lights sold on eBay for 03/04 will fit into the 05/06 cars. I know because I just temporarily installed them in my 05 while the stocks are out for a modification. It is not a 100% perfect fit because they are slightly different but the hood will close. With that in mind, the aftermarket lens will not fit onto the original housing because of the slight differences in shape.
Quote: The 03-04 ebay ones WILL fit. HOWEVER, fitment won't be perfect and there will be some gaps.

OP, I would not use an 03/04 headlight set as a permanent replacement for a set of 05/06's, but for temporary usage it should suffice. I will be trying this myself whenever I move forward with a projector retrofit project.

So I was wondering, can't we just swap out head lights n bumber? I know the hood is different but the overall shape/area it takes up looks to be the same as 05-06. So there would be no more gap under....

Obviously someone needed to concentrate more in class since you fail at reading comprehension.

Been there done that! They will fit! Because the fenders are the same for all model years, the headlights will sit flush with the fenders. There will be a gap under the headlight and the next to the hood. Here are pics of my my 2005 with "03-04" eBay lights.

They look good from a distance. The gaps would really bother me though.

So to answer the question, will they fit? YES

Will they look right? NO

Why would you want to ditch 05/06 HID lights for an 03/04 Ebay reflector light? Seems like a step backwards.
