What bulbs are interchangable from 05 to 06 headlights??

I'm looking to get some 06 headlights for my 05 but was wondering what bulbs I can reuse to make the switch?

Also, how can u tell if it's a recall headlight or not and is there a way to fix the beam pattern of the recall lights?

Do you drive a sedan or a coupe?

BTW, I'm Pharm D too.

If you go to www.sylvania.com and look under Consumer Products you will see the lamp replacement guide so you can compare 05 to 06. I just put the 06 projectors in my 04 coupe and they look great. I ordered mine from Sewell Infiniti and they came complete with the bulbs so I didn't need to do anything to them. FYI, you cannot use the 05 HID bulbs (D2R) in the 06 projectors, they require the D2S. I paid around $550 for both lamp assemblies shipped to me which is probably cheaper and more convenient than buying everything separately. If you go this route you will only need to transfer the ballast from the 05 lamps to the 06 lamps, everything else is included. Here is a DIY on how to change the assemblies:

This one shows how to bake them and take them apart but just look at how to get everything apart to remove them. Patience and someone to help you will make things much easier. Unclipping the wire harness to the assembly was the worst part of it for me as there is not much lead wire and the clip you need to release is on the BOTTOM. Using a pick was the only way we got it to unhook. Make sure to use tape or something on your fenders as well so the bumper doesn't scratch them. Hope this helps.
