They certainly do look clearer and a little nicer to me. I'm sure you can switch over to them aftermarket soon if not already!

And the dark side... leads to... TUNGSTEN, Baby!

The real question is... where did Topnotch get that photo of the '06???

Things that make you go 'Hmmm'

The pic on the left is a real car, the one on the right is an artist's rendering, touched up for sales and advertising material. Everything will look shinier and perfect in the second pic. I think we should wait until we see a real production '06 to claim the lights will be different. I highly doubt they would design new headlights one year out from the launch of the S197.

What's the difference? Only thing I see is that one is a professional shot with high quality lighting (silver) and the other is a amature shot.

Taking a wild guess here - either he works for or is associated with Steeda.....

speaking of light...would it be possible to use a square headlight so that it might match the shape of the plastic cover?

I build headlamps for GM for a living.

I can see a differance right away. I look at about 1500+ lamps a day.

But the fluting on the reflector is a nice change on the 06's has a cleaner look to it.
The spacing on the 05's are about 1/4 inch and the 06's is about 1/2 inch. From the pictures I see there.

the picture on the right is a marketing rendering of the pre production V6 pony package minus the horizonial pony coral bar.

The 4 light set up for the V8 for 06 will be the same as the 05. Ford is stupid but not that stupid to change inventory structure of a head lamp assembly after 1 production year.

Then if they are that stupid - the 05 V8 is that much more unique down the road
