06/07 headlights seems brighter because they have projectors in them.. but 03-06 all use the same bulbs which is listed above.

Projectors rule compared to the 03 setup. If you need a guide as to what replacement bulbs are needed in the 06 headlights go to http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/ this is what i used. Also, you can use the same ballasts that your car already has. If you have any questions let me know.

the 03-05 have the d2r bulbs and the 06+ projectors have the d2s bulbs. When switching the headlamps makes sure you switch the bulb also. If not the projectors with the d2r (03-05) bulbs will be bright as fu<k to the oncoming traffic which will make it dangerous for others on the road. the 06 projectors are def look better tho :thumbsup:
