I have an early build '03 and the headlight is slightly different from the later builds. I'll try to explain, The part that holds the actual lite that plugs into the housing/lens is what is different. My question is will the lite holder thing plug into a new housing/lens?

Anyone have experience with this?

The only thing that should be different with the headlights between 03 and 04 is the dust caps. Early builds had a hard plastic dust cap and all 04's have a rubber dust cap.

The locking collar ring should be exactly the same and only locks one way.

That is correct. All 9007 bulbs are identical and on the Marauders they all lock the same way.

Thanks Chris and Jim. :)

I will be getting some new lens then as the Noah dust cover ruined my originals.

How did the cover do that?

Just movement in the wind. Didn't seem to matter it was a custom cover there always seemed to be a very fine layer of dust that got though and I guess this dust acted like fine sand paper. It also scratched up the paint as well. Didn't seem to matter how often I washed the cover either dust still got through. I now just leave the car exposed and give it a wash when needed.
