Hey guys, I spent like an hour at the dealership waiting for my car the other day and there were 2 Sc’s, and 06 and 03 side by side and I sat there and analyzed the lights for a good 45 minutes, popping the hood looking thru the grille and so on. The only part I see which is different is the inside bottom corner. If you’re looking at the car dead on, the lower most portion of the light which is closest to the front grille. On the 06 models it looks a little bit sharper and more defined than the older style… what I’m trying to get to is, I think with a little and by little I mean some sanding and slight trimming you should be able to fit the lights.

What do you guys think.. Has anyone taken out the whole light and compared their contour and mounting points?

So if you had a 2003 SC and you put something like the Job Design 2006 bumper on it, you would be able to swap in 2006 headlights?

it's possible. i am not 100% sure about hood and fenders if they are the same

just keep in mind even if you fit the headlights, it will not work 100%, at least the adaptive headlights won't work

does anyone know if you need the newer grill in addition to the 2006-7 bumper in order to get the 2006-7 headlights to fit?

so let me get this straight...
to install the 2006 headlights you need:
- new 06 bumper
- new 06 grille
- new 06 headlight assemblies (L & R)

anything else?

The plugs are different for one. You need a new harness. You need the brain and sensor for the AFS.

as rominl mentioned, the afs will not work...
so i guess we're up to:
- new 06 bumper
- new 06 grille
- new 06 headlight assemblies (L & R)
- new 06 L&R headlight harnesses

anything else one would need in an upgrade kit?

Entirely too much "work" for me. '06 tails and I'm good.
