Default Upgrading front head lights and bumper to 06-07

I drive an 05 Nissan 350z and i was wondering if I am able to upgrade the front lights and front bumper with the 06-07 model? Do these parts fit on an 05? Has anybody tried doing that?

Can we just make this **** a sticky already, and be done with it?

Yes, the lights are plug and play. Yes, the bumper will bolt right on. Next time do a search before posting a thread like this, it has been covered hundreds of times.

yeah, so the headlights won't be plug and play harness wise. You don't want to put the HID conversion kit on the 06 since the 06 has a very nice hid kit itself with a true projector.

yes, i have tried to 06 bumper on my car. The fenderwell plastics don't fit perfectly and i believe you have to buy 06+ fenderwells. I never called the dealership to confirm that the fenderwell plastics are diff part numbers though.

There is a DIY posted on how to make 06+ work with non HID 03-05 Z's. I can make you a harness too though. There are people all over this forum rocking 06+ lights on what used to be non HID early model Z's.

i was going to ask that same question about the headlights. i search for an hour, i would get everything about headlights but not the question i was looking for. SUBRWHO how much for the harness and so i shouldn't buy an aftermarket hid kit for the 06 headlights, it wouldn't work. and why can't people be cool like superblack and subrwho, people always got to be smart asses. i hate the search police! just don't answer the post, just move on to the next one.

Hey My car is 05 equipped with HID's already... I dont want to change the bumper... can I just plug/play the 06+ Headlights?

If this is the case, Im probably gonna buy the 06+ headlights and send it to CinCity for mods =) Please let me know thx.
