Hello everyone,
I have been sanding/polishing these headlight covers for years now and it no longer is having any effect. Time to buy some new ones. Something changed in 2003 concerning our headlights. I cannot find my build date anywhere.
On all the websites, it is 2000-2003 or 2003-2005. Is there any structural difference between 2000-2005?. I can see that the turn signal lens is darker on the 2003-2005. Anything else? It is my wifes car and she likes the darker lens. I want to make sure it will fit

Re: 2003 Headlights
The darker units are from GXP and SLE when made to look like the GXP instead of the SSEi. They might use different low beam bulbs, not sure.
I would recommend getting something like xPel headlight film installed. It will help the lenses last a lot longer.

Re: 2003 Headlights
My 02 headlights have a horizontal adjustment. I believe my 05 did not have this.
