I know the earlier projectors used a step cut off shield. They may have changed to the slope style in 06.

I believe the 06 headlight uses smaller ballasts so it wont fit 04 & 05 TL's.

Correct. Can someone clarify whether they use 1157 turn signal bulbs or do they still retain the 7443 the 04-05's use?
