HID Bulb and Ballests Question
03-05 bulbs are H2R and 06+ are D2S... so the plug into the bulbs, probably not... but the ballast/ignitor (its all in one) could work, if they have the same plugs, which I doubt since the 06+ is bi-xenon and probably has the wiring included for the movable cutoff shield.
So easy answer no... but i'm sure you could make it work if you really wanted to but I don't see any reason to.

simply put, no it will not work because they are two completely different systems
Yes, the ballast/ignitor setup will work fine for the 06+ headlights.
The stock 03-05 bulbs are D2r, and the 06+ D2s. The ONLY difference between the bulbs, is that the D2r has a "stripe" painted on the glass, to reduce glare in certain areas. A D2r bulb can be converted to a D2s by simply removing the "stripe" with a razorblade.
Well, technically, to fit a D2s bulb in a D2r headlamp, a slight adjustment to the base of the bulb has to be made; however, that has nothing to do with the OP's question.
You will be fine using the ballast/ignitor setup out of an 03.
