Title: headlights change in 2005?
Post by: Anonymous on March 16, 2007, 09:44

just chased the supplier ref my new headlights (face lift) and he mentioned that they have different headlight part numbers for 02-05 onwards or 05 onwards?

anyone know what the difference is, if any?

Mmmmm 22 views and none of us seem to know, so.........

the normal facelift have been on order from japan for over week and are still going to take another week, 05 onwards are in stock in belgium so I've gone for those (2 days)

will update this thread when I know the difference

(he said 2005+ are slightly more expensive, but they are going to swallow the cost due to the delay s;) ;) s;) )

Is there perhaps a change in any of the decorative features in post 05 models... such as the grooves in the chrome bits or something?

perhaps it was just a p/n database alteration then rather than anything else
