Questions about Xenons

Does anyone know if swapping out my Xenons on my 03 and replacing them with ones out of an 04 05 or 06 is possible without modification? I am having some trouble figuring out if anything was changed that may make this not possible.

Judging by http://www.realoem.com/bmw/select.do it looks like they use the same control units and everything but I want to be sure...

Thanks,
BEATNUT

03 and 04 look identical. 05/06 use different reflectors.

However, if you swap the entire thing out, probably should fit. Just ask you MINI dealer.

This may have some info for you. That is, if you haven't already seen it.

Thanks golden_child those links helped out, I think I will get the 05 lights and give it a shot as it worked out for others in the first link that you gave me.

Thanks,
