You need to swap your hood, bumper and grille to make those lights work in your 05/06

^ Both incorrect. Like Randy said above, 03/04 sedan headlights will fit on a 05/06 sedan without needing modification. There are gaps where the lights meet the hood and front bumper but to me the gaps aren't as bad as most would say or think.


I would not use them as a permanent replacement to a set of 05/06 headlights but they are certainly usable temporarily for emergencies or as a spare set while tackling a projector retrofit project. It can be done.

do a close up so people can actually see the gap. because i know the gap is certainly noticeable.

Are there replacement headlights for a 05/06? What have you guys done while your headlights were getting retroed or out of service? Did you not drive the car? replace for another set? Just like the OP I've been looking for a temp set so I can retro my own lights.

^ Have you seen a 03/04 headlight on a 05/06 sedan in person? Those pics are the best anyone's gonna get for awhile unless there's others floating out there - and I can see the gaps clearly & IMO the gaps aren't as big or as noticeable as everyone says they are unless they're really looking for them. People can decide for themselves what's acceptable gaps or not. For a temporary solution, as noted above the 03/04 headlights fit; albeit not 100% & not much modification needed. I'm assuming the wiring can be tricky but the hood will close all the way.

^ There are no OEM replacement headlights for 05/06's currently. Look at my previous post #16. 05/06 sedan members have used 03/04 headlights temporarily while they mod their OEM 05/06 headlights. Definitely not a permanent replacement tho IMO.
