It might, but its slightly different wiring... but I think people have got the 06+ lights to work in 03-05 Z's so I don't see why it wouldn't work the other way around.

Why would you wan to do this anyway? You'd be downgrading from bixenon to single xenon with halogen highbeam.

What he said.

I've sold lots of sets of 06+ to the 03-05 guys. You just need to do a simple blinker mod to get them to work correctly. So to go the other way, down grade, I would guess the blinker function would not work like it's supposed to. But again, why would anyone want to do this? Unless its temp or something??

My guess would be that OP probably is selling his car or something and swapped his headlights for some extra cash and is going to sell the car to someone who wouldnt know the difference?

The reason why i am downgrading is not important. I know for sure that 06 headlights will work with 03 - 05 Z but i dont know if it is possibly to go other way around.

Well I want some 06 headlights, and I have 04... I'd trade if you want. They are original in perfect condition, never opened up or modded. I guess some people might like the look of the 03-05's better, but I want the 06's for performance of the true projector. I don't like the hybrid reflector with attempted projector beam on the 03-05's.

Good luck... i'm sure you can get it to work with a little mod.
