Difference Between Headlights

I might be getting a spare set of headlights while I have my current ones painted on the inside. Is there a way to tell by looking at the headlight assembly itself whether it's for an 03-04 sedan or 05-06 sedan? Would like to know ASAP.

I contacted the dealer and the parts guy didn't know. Said the computer doesnt state what's different, but he gave me different part numbers. Are these numbers on the headlight assembly somewhere?

The guy that's selling the lights says he was told 03 04 05 and 06 are the same headlights, just a different part number. Is this true?

I had originally called Metro Infiniti, now I just called Riverside Infiniti and the guy said they are the same, rather they should be the same. Still no definite answer.

How can I tell the difference though?

I also noticed that the cheap aftermarket ones also state will fit 03 - 06 so I'd assume that they in fact are the same.

look at the shape of the bezel, and the shape of the headlight itself. The 03-04 also has a fluted portion on the actual lens near the turn signal

Do you have pictures that show the difference? I tried looking at some 03/04 headlights but can't seem to see what you're talking about. I basically need to know whether I can use the headlights fitment wise and functionally for the time being. If not, i'll just pass on it but would be great to know for future reference if I do find some headlights for a decent price.

Do you have pictures that show the differences, I'd like to be able to verify when I do purchase these lights in the future.

Here is the current headlight I'm looking at.



But I'd still like to know how to tell.

Thanks, I'll stay away from that one. How was that you could tell the difference?
