06-07 projector shroud fit 03-05 housing?

I have 1 06 headlight that is a little broken inside(the interior housing moves around a bit) and was wondering if any of the parts from the 06 light are interchangeable with an 03-05? the projector maybe? the turn signal lense etc? If so I may look for another broken one to complete both lights

Thanks for any helpful info

Off the top of my head the black housings are different for the projector and non projector headlight. The turn signal housings are not interchangeable for various reasons. You may be able to retro the projector into the 05 and lower but it will require a bracket of some kind. The bulb/reflector housing in the 05 is one giant bracket that the reflector bowls attached are attached. You can use the outer lens from the 06 on an 05.

I just noticed this thread got answered! Thanks for the responses! Mabe I can fix the 06-07 headlight I have. I've never messed with any headlight modding or repair, but the inner chrome (housing?) along with the projector rattles around inside like just a cm or so. Seems like an easy fix, hopefully. Then I'll just buy a used left headlight to match

Anybody point to info on retrofit projector into 03 housing? Is it easier to put projector in the high beam reflector spot? I've noticed this being done...

I'm still looking.. I do have a pair of oem projectors in need of small repair(I think) bezel inside is broken some and moves around... My 03 reflectors are in great shape and wanted to retrofit if it wasn't too hard... But I think it will be, especially since I've never done any lighting projects lol
