I did a search and nothing came out. Are all Headlights used for all Pre and Post Facelift? Are they all interchangeable? Just wondering....Thanks.

It's only interchangeable between the 02-03 coupes and 02-05 sedans, as they have the screw in type corners.
The housings are different.Quote:

AFAIK, the only differences are the lenses and the shrouds.Quote:

The shapes are slightly different, and that's enough to make it not fit... I would think there's a shape difference beyond the lense as well. They're entirely different lights, so as a result I would think the housing would be different as well...Quote:

Well the lenses all have a rectangular footprint the lens shape is the only difference that has been recorded. But this info is from TerraPhantm and Nike001 has pre-facelift Coupe lights on his Facelift Sedan...
Yup. I have AL Bi-Xenon's from an M3 (pre-facelift coupe)
All we did was take out the lenses, and the bezels..and swapped in my facelift bezels and lenses on. The only thing eles that you need to fit them is the bottom mount. It mounts to the car and then your lights mount to that. I'll look for a picture of it now.
EDIT: here ya go. #10 in the below pic
