Hey I had a quick question. Im getting angel eyes installed on my 2004 TL from light wurkz, however, the 2004 headlights only have 1 projector on each headlight. I called the guy today at Light Wurkz and he told me that I have to buy a brand new set up TL-S headlights so they can open it up and take the housing or shroud (the second projector housing) from it and put it on my current headlight.

I definetly think thats a waste of money to spend $800 on 2 new headlights just to open it up and take the housing out. Does anyone know where I could just get that housing or second projector housing so I dont have to buy brand new headlights? If anyone is selling theirs, please let me know, I'll definetly buy them off!

I gotta side with darky and fizz and say that I wouldn't necessarily do it. (I kinda think havin 2 angel-eye rings and the unique squarish fogs is kinda cool)....but you don't like angel-eyes either? Oh well, to each his own. I guess we have different opinions of where to put the money.
Regardless your car is totally different than anyone else's as always and I love it. You know I've always been a fan of your mods. Thumbs up to u ua6spec.

Does anyone know if the new 2007 double projector headlights would fit on a 2004 TL? I read above that the housing is different. Is it difficult to change the bulb housing? Sorry Im not too good with cars, so I just wanted to make sure. Does switching to the 2007 style lights require any major cutting or soldering or major restructuring? Reason why I want the 2007 lights is because I was gonna bite the bullet, and purchase brand new 07 headlights and have them shipped to Light Wurkz to have the Umnitza angel eyes installed on them and have it shipped back. Another plus of doing that is my car wouldnt be out of commission for a few weeks. Plus I was thinking I could recover some of my money back by selling my 04 headlights. If someone can confirm with me if they will fit, and if any adjustments need to be made I would really appreciate it! Thanks guys!

Signal lights are also different. 04-06 uses 7440 style light bulb. So the socket are smaller to put into the 07 and up TL headlamp but it will still fit. To make the long story short, it is DIRECT FIT.

Im sorry to ask so many questions but since Im about to spend $800 on lights I just wanted to double check everything. Thanks again for your help!

If you are pretty anal about it just buy a new 07 socket. Just in case, bring your 04-06 socket to compare it when you go to the dealer. Wiring is all the same except the daytime running light. You might need to convert to the 9005 socket. I didn't do that because I'm not using that on my car. I ran those wiring onto my bumper foglight.
Oh I see what ya mean. Yeah I wasnt really planning on using the daytime running lights anyways either. I dont have bottom fog lights on my 04 TL, so I guess I wouldnt have to worry about that either. So even though the hole is a little bigger, the bulb still stays in there pretty well without wobbling around too much?
If was going to change the socket to have a tighter fit, would I have to cut the 04 socket out and solder the new 07 socket on? or do they have clips on them to snap them off?

By the way, I love having fog lights on the bottom! It makes the car look complete! Did you install those fog lights or are they the stock ones from when you bought the car?

Wow, I want to put those fog lights on!! Does anyone know of a good shop to get custom work done in the DC/Maryland/Northern VA area? I ordered 07 TL-S headlights, Im having them shipped to Light Wurkz to have the angel eyes installed with the carbon fiber inlays on the sides. However once I get my new headlights shipped back to me, I dont know where to take it to have it installed.
