Question Possible Headlight splice?

Hey there guys, i was looking around on the interwebs for some new headlights on my Z and i fell in love with a pair that i hadnt noticed were from the 03-05 gen Z's and bought them regardless. I own an 06' Z and was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a possible splice/setup to make these headlights work as im completely in love with them. ~ Apologies if this has already been asked, i searched but came up short.

06' Z

I had an '06. I'd never downgrade to '03-'05 style. The '06 has bi-xenon lights (low and high beams are both xenon), the older ones (and the ones you posted) use halogen high beams. My vote is keep what you have.

The only things people do with the '06 is paint the chrome parts black and replace the yellow bulb with a clear one that flashes yellow.

I just really want my Z to be unique y'know? I dont want the headlights honestly. They just seem really basic i suppose. I got my Z and now i see alot of them and i just want my Z to feel like its mine, i guess :P idk.

You can always customize your stock lights. Lots of options:

You can do it yourself too for a lot cheaper if you want.

I have those same lights on my Z and they were a HUGE upgrade from the stock garbage 03 lights I had. I can see much better with them.
