They are not interchangeable!!! Be sure to get the D2R for your sedan!
A lot of stores and shops will not know the difference between the coupes and sedans and usually only list coupes. Your 2006 sedan uses the D2R which are for reflectors, 2006 coupes use the D2S which are for projectors. They are not interchangeable parts, only a D2C is interchangeable in fitment between the two different headlights.
An easy way to remember this - R for reflector, S for shielded (like a projector), and C for combo.

D2C doesn't have the shield either, but a lot of people claim that it works fine in their reflector headlight.
