I recently upgraded my 02 headlights to 06+ headlights and wanted to share the process with the Forum. There seems to be plenty of mis-information on the forum on exactly what is needed. I am hoping to provide some answers from a novice POV.

Before I start, I wanted to thank Brah Pitt. Without him I would never have gotten this done. I drove up to his house and we hit it off very well. He's a great guy and very knowledgeable about the SC430. BTW Brah, I debadged as soon as I got home.

1) I bought two 06 headlights.
2) I bought two DS4 bulbs for the low beams

You will need:
1) The leveling motors from your current headlights.
2) Your current high beam bulbs

Things you can change if you want
1) Turn signals - They don't fit exact but if you screw them in they will stay. You can also add some light adhesive to get them to stick.

Thanks for the write up!

Did you run into any issues with the bumper fitment over the lights?

Sorry about not mentioning that. The new lights are not an exact fit. To me and many others it's not noticeable. However, there are some people that are extremely **** about their car. I am not. I have included the pictures of the "fitment issues" Honestly, our cars are rare enough that no one will know the difference. I can promise you that you will only know it's there because you are the person that made the change. When I changed my lights I was more impessed on how new the lights made my car looked and less about the slight fitment issue. Please remember that the photos are from an extreme closeup of the car.

This first picture truely shows what you will be looking at. The bumper fits the frame pefectly the only problem issues is with the pointed side of the light. It's really not that bad. I love my new lights.
