Will Type-S headlights fit on 04 front bumper?
Will Type-S headlights fit on 04 front bumper?
I search through most of the thread and could not find a definite answer. Does anyone know if the Type-S headlights will fit with the 04 front bumper? Thanks.
Does the end of the Type-S signal socket fit with the 04 TL connector?

The TL-S headlights will require you to buy slim ballasts from the 2006+ TL and as well new turn signals sockets. Cut off the old ones and wire in the new ones is the way to do as I've seen on here.
HOWEVER, I must warn you that you risk melting the DRL shroud on the TL-S lights as they were designed in mind with 9005 bulbs as DRL's and not the 9006 bulbs at full power like are in the 2004-2006 TL as Fog Lights.

It is because the TL-s lights were designed to only use a drl in that location, when using a bulb at full power,too much heat is generated and it may melt the shroud. Besides that the optics in the headlight are not designed with a fog light in mind.

exactly...unless you open the headlight and cut out that plastic shroud.
