Rear-ended somebody in my 03 Coupe... Now I want Projectors from 06+. Is that easy?

I wrecked my 03 coupe. I rear-ended somebody. Now I need to replace the headlights, among many other things. This is what I am wondering...

Can my Body shop, which has no experience with aftermarket (non-oem) parts replace the 03 lights with the projector 06 lights?

Is it as simple as plugging them in just like the 03's or is it more complicated?

well yea you body shop should be able to do it and it isnt a aftermarket ( non- oem) part.. most ppl wit he reflector 03-05 headlights upgrade to the projectors..

you actually should be able to do it urself.. replacing the headlights doesnt not take too many steps and it is basically plug and play

I did the swap myself and if I can do it then anyone can. If the body shop tells you they cannot do it then don't let them touch your car at all! Seriously though, it's very simple. Swap the ballasts and you're good to go.
