06 TSX - Replacing headlamp with 04 model but doesn't line up -Help?

So I cracked the passenger headlamp on my 06 TSX and broke a few tabs...

I got a '04-08 passenger headlamp' off ebay that was stripped of bulbs, ballast, etc...

Now I see that 04-08 use different headlamps and the 06 ballast off mine wont mount up?

What are my options to get this new headlamp up and going?

The problem is it is in my neighbors body shop over the weekend to swap the headlamp and paint the bumper cover.

I am not familiar with these headlamps, what can we do so I don't have to be headlightless until I can find an actual 06 headlamp and then repull the bumper cover to replace?

I appreciate the advice.

I went ahead and retrofit it.

1 bolt lined up and the other two I just drilled a small hole in the tab and used zip ties to cinch them down. Should seal just fine but I applied some RTV just to be sure.
