Spoon either slightly modified it for the 06 and is selling two different models or the 06 headlights will fit a 04 05 tsx cause there is no way the headlights are different if thats the same bumper un-modified.

the only difference with the 06 headlights is the different looking side markers/parkers- I was never aware that they changed the dimensions if they did...
I know of one 06 CL9 in australia with an 04-05 mugen bumper and it fits

I looked as well and saw the same. I even saw TSX_Road_Warrior's car and I swear they looked different. I wonder if the change in side marker makes it LOOK like they are different. Would be nice to know for sure.

If the two are the same, then getting 06 Mugen kit on 04 might be possible. Another option.

just got a response from the guy i mentioned that has an 04 mugen bumper on an 06 accord euro. His body shop confirmed that no work/drilling holes NOTHING was required to make it fit perfectly fine.
Surely this means the 04 and 06 headlights are the same size and that the phase bumper should fit both pre-facelift and face lift models

Last time when I got a 06 loaner car, i measured the dimensions of the 06 headlights and with my 04 headlights and they're exactly identical. So it's only because of the change on the side signal of the 06 that makes the whole front look different.
