Default GXP Headlights..

Is there any difference between the non gxp and gxp headlights? Im thinking about getting new headlights and i wanna know if the 2000-2005 headlights will fit (non GXP and GXP)?

They will fit, I know the little caps over the bulbs are black instead of chrome, I painted mine when I made my headlights and I like the look because it darkens the whole housing a little bit

It will fit yes. The main difference is in the harness, the low beam goes off when the highs come on. Not sure about appearance differences.

The GXP headlights are slightly tinted. I believe the 04-05 SLE'* had the same headlights as the GXP'*. The 00-03 SE/SLE/SSEi lights are not tinted and have chrome caps inside

Hmm yea you're probably right. The relays probably shut the power off to the low beams

also the GXP uses a 9011 bulb for the high beam instead of the 9005
