Hi Everyone
I have 2003 Acura MDX with non projector headlights what I like to do change to projector headlights from 04,05,06 Acura MDX. The question is are they interchangeable i can deal with bulb harness that not a problem, will they fit like oem or any cutting required or modification needed, :confused: I don't want to buy the headlights form 04,05,06 MDX and find out they are not interchangeable. Can some one help. Thanks

Try the search button but yes they can be swapped out no problem. You will just need the adapter and new H11 bulbs.

Aren't the 03s halogen and 04s HID? Are the ballasts and everything built into the assembly, can one just swap it out and get a harness converter. I'd think the switch would be more difficult.

Headlights will fit fine.

Here is a link to the adapter to make the conversion plug and play.

Do you need to order 2 of these or is this a kit; there's no explanation.

You need 2.

Yup, 04-06 headlights are projectors with NO HID.

Wow, thanks. I may pick up a set since I like how they look. Does they use the same bulbs? I don't even know if the 01-02 is dual-filament or two separate bulbs (never looked).

Like I stated above, the 04-06 takes h11 bulbs for lows as opposed to 9006 for 01-03. Both use 9005 for highs.
