I'm looking to purchase the 05 S60 headlights to pop into my 01 to freshen the look. I've also heard that I can go back and purchase the 07 projectors and they screw in to the 05 casing, which I'd like to do later down the road.

I found a distributor that sells the 05 headlight casing (cheap) but only the european version he says. I'm wondering what is the difference between the europe and usa headlights? I figure just the little yellow corner light cover, but correct me if I'm wrong before I get it shipped from Japan.

I think you are correct that the only difference is the amber lense in the corner light.

Yeah, I've decided to get them. The guy (I've bought from him before and trust) tells me they're the exact same minus the amber lens.

I'm going to get them and install, and post pics whenever I can get them shipped. I'm waiting on a couple of other guys to get their orders ready so we can get 1 package from Taiwan rather than 3.
