headlight fit-a-ment

ok, so i think that coupe headlights and sedan headlights (01-03) are the same, but i keep seeing lights for "coupe" or "sedan." are they the same or what? if not, what is different?

The only difference is the turn/park signal bulb socket. The one does not fit the other. The electrical connector still fits.

ur on crack.

all 01-03 headlights are the same.
(but with these, the turn/parking socks differ.)
^o, btw, another difference is the bulb shield... the coupe is a bit smaller than the sedan. i didnt notice this untill i was pointed out.


same goes with the 04-05.

the sedan also has a better reflector beam pattern. otherwise they are interchangable if you get the different sockets.

More useless trivia about the 01-03 lights:
the rubber seals for the main bulbs are different sizes (sedan is smaller)
the glue and tabs used to seal the 2 halves together are of different types
the tabs and markings on the amber reflector piece are different
