Question 06+ upgrade confusion

Alright,
I have been reading posts about swapping to the 06 headlights and i keep reading mixed yes and no answers.

i have a 2004 BASE- as far as i can tell. no cruise control.

heres the deal,

i need new headlights. mine absolutely suck. IF i can upgrade to the 06 headlights then that's what ill do.

if not, what are some good aftermarket headlights for our cars. i don't mind halos, but frankly i would like to see where the hell i am going before i look any cooler...

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Mike

Yes. It can be done. You can get a brand new set from cariD fora little over one grand. Or wait and try to find some used. I just replaced mine with aftermarket headlights though and so far they're fine.. (Driver's side lens busted) Now, before I get flamed, I'm still in school and have to pay for my own stuff. And just didn't have the money for oem's

I have the base model as well (03) and bought a set of 55w 6000k HIDs. They work great. Been on the car for about a year and you can see everything without blinding others. I had 35W HIDs before and they were pretty dim, but the 55w are worth the extra money. I spent about $110 for the kit and will be throwing them in a set of aftermarket black housing 03-05 replacements. Several people around here have been running them without issue.
