Default xA headlight change?

Can the headlight from an 05 xA be changed out with an 06 headlight? I don't know if they changed that...

Also anyone know the bulb sizes for the parking lights in the headlight and the side markers? I saw on the sylvan bulb size chart it was a 2825 and I wanted to be sure if any knew for sure.

they are slightly different, but i believe they can be interchanged with a little wire cutting

What I guess I'm asking is can http://www.ebay.com/itm/190608843023?item=190608843023&viewitem=&vxp=mtr#ht_4841wt_1037 headlight be put in an 06 Scion xA? I've seen sights that say no, but this one says yes. So confused ...

They will fit fine, but like I said, you'll probably have to change some wiring. But if your interested in getting those just because they are black, you can paint your own and save yourself like 200 bucks, its not hard.

Yea, I just don't want to screw up then have to deal with buying new ones anyways. There's a place out in Cali called CINcity Designs that does custom work on headlights (they aren't taking orders right now though) and I may send mine out there so I can get some LEDs put in the front as well as paint it, but we'll see how expensive that is...

I might try to paint them myself if I can find a decent DIY...

It will fit fine. Your blinker and headlight bulb and socket will fit also. The only thing that need to be change or modify is the parking light. The socket for the 04-05 is a little larger than the 06. If you are going to get a set then I recommend that you go to a salvage yard and get the socket and pigtail from the 04-05 and soldier it on to your 06. I think that would be easier than to modify the housing to fit your socket. Unless you don't want need the parking light then just zip tie it in the engine bay.

If you need paractice, I have a passenger side 06 that I need to get rid of. It is fine no broken tab. The seller sold me the wrong year.

If your looking to get rid of it, I'd pay shipping, but I don't have the money to buy it from you, sorry. Not trying to be cheap, but its not a necessity atm.
