Can I directly swap out my 03 headlights with a pair of 05-06??

I want to swap out my 03 lights that look like this

with a pair of complete 05 headlights which look like this

 

yes. you can swap them.

 

I think only the 06's have projectors.

...and yes you can swap out to the 06 headlights.

 

I think 05's have projecters as well...

 

06 has projectors, 05 doesn't... I have an 05 and just switched out to 06 projectors - so much better!

 

hhmm interesting....

 

Yeah the projectors came out in 06'.

 

only 06 coupes have projectors and yes you can just swap em out

 

Exactly correct.

I switched them too...

 

only the 06's have projectors. and they can be swapped

 

wait...so can i put 03's on an 06 with no issues? im trying to get this girl to trade with me...

 

they are interchangeable.

 

you just have to get different bulbs for the projectors

 

why?

 

Projectors use D2S bulbs and standard reflectors use D2R. They are similar but not the same.

You can modify the base of your D2R bulbs to fit but since they have the ceramic coating on part of them they will not be as bright.
