All headlights and tail lights between the 2000+ models interchange.

Don't waste your time on the headlights. You probably won't find
any GXP unless you pay through the roof. And frankly, I don't
think they are as good as the regular. They don't adjust, they
are tinted so your lights aren't as bright, and nobody can see
the difference except guys in this club.

Additionally, you can make any set of non-GXP head lamps look just like GXPs with some black spray paint. Just gotta tint the bulb caps and the turn signal reflector. I wouldn't bother purchasing them.

Thanks for the responses everyone. So just spray a light coat of black spray paint on the headlights ?

He's talking about inside the headlight. The reflector cap in the very
center of the GXP lights that mask the bulb itself are black instead of
chrome like the regular headlights. You would have to take the headlight
apart and then reseal the lens cover back onto the headlight housing.
