Sedan, Coupe headlights the same?

Are they the same cuz i think i herd someone say that one of the sockets of the lightbulb wont fit in the hole of the coupe headlights he got and he had a sedan. Plus is it a lot easier to clear the coupe headlights without them fogging after?

The coupe headlight assembly is easier to clear than sedan because of the "glue" or silicone used.

And the sockets, correct. Sedans and Coupes have different sockets....i believe the sedan's are bigger.

H4 bulbs work in both the coupe and sedan models. the pics here are of the parking light and turn signal light. those are the sockets the bulb plugs into.

When I got my set from RSVersion, they sent me sockets with them, and they didnt even fit. So they seem to be the ones who fudged up. They are sending a product out with sockets that dont even fot it correctly. The stock turn signal sockets on the car will fit the aftermarket headlamps just fine. I dont even know why they threw in an extra pair of sockets? Gay.
