07-08 headlights on 04-06?

Will the 07-08 headlights fit on 04-06 models? I want to get those headlights for my 04 because i want to add angel eyes to where the fogs are on the 04-06's

As far as I know, they will as long as you get new ballasts for the HID's that are on the 2007 model as they are slimmer.

Wont the optics for the brights in 07-08 be wrong pattern to be used as the fogs in 04-06 and will the 04-06 fog bulb fit in the 07-08 drl's? I hope that wasn't confusing for you two...lol.

07-08 Have high beams where 04-06 have 'fogs'.
07-08 = 9005
04-06 = 9006

Not true. 04-08 all use the same projectors. Bi-xenon. They only difference is the 04-06 have integrated fog lights, whereas the 07-08 have DRL's. If you're looking to get Type-S headlights I know the turn signal uses a differenct bulb.

Yeah. You will just need different ballasts. 07-08 are DRL and have a bezel like the 04-06 HID projector has a bezel.

Also make sure you use a low wattage or LED bulbs where the DRL's are in the 07 headlights or you will melt the housing. The turn-signal bulbs are slightly differnt as well, but an easy mod to install... Good luck with the install.
