2DR and 4DR headlights diff....
What differences, if any, are there between the 2 door and 4 door headlights. They look identical.

The headlights on the sedans are held in by a wire and a screw. The sedan headlights can also be aimed with a screw driver.
On the coupe the headlights have a wire that holds them in, but it is like a clip. It does not screw in anywhere.
The other difference is that the parking light and turn signal bulb holders are different sizes for the sedan and coupe.
So unless you get the 4 bulb holders (parking/turn signal for both side), its not a direct swap.

Rep Power: 0 In addition to those, the reflectors are different...Sedans have more reflector angles(around 30 small pieces), while coupes only have 7 large pieces.....The reality is that, sedan headlights look better at night...
The cutoff, sedan has something like _/-- while coupe looks like _|\--
Coupe headlight made in Mexico, don't know where the sedan headlight made in, but probably NOT Mexico...
