dcris Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I am in need of a passenger side headlight assembly for my 05 LGT. I've searched everywhere I could think of for an OEM replacement, and finally came up with one that looked acceptable. However, the Ebay listing said it is for 06-07. Everything I have found out about my car so far leads me to believe that it should be OK, so I bought it. (I would have asked here first, but with my luck someone else would have snapped it up.) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_rdc=1&item=260671160463 Now having reviewed the listing, and because I was anxious, I overlooked that it doesn't say OEM anywhere on the listing, I will hope the fact that it is used will make it more likely that it is OEM. Cliffs notes...Is this compatible with my 05? Lehigh Valley Subaru Enthusiasts http://alturl.com/o4org Because Station Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkl303 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't see "used" anywhere in the listing. I think the 05's lights were painted black in the lower section of the light instead of chrome so it will look different but fitment should be fine assuming "OEM fitment" means anything.

keysersoze Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't think it will be compatible. Here is a list of Subaru part numbers. It looks like only 06s and 07s (based on VIN) share head lamp assemblies.

dcris Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 I don't see "used" anywhere in the listing. It's in the "condition" section. I guess it'll still be better than what's in there now. Lehigh Valley Subaru Enthusiasts http://alturl.com/o4org Because Station Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcris Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 It fits and it's in. I don't see any obvious differences. And I'm happy to say that it is OEM. Lehigh Valley Subaru Enthusiasts http://alturl.com/o4org Because Station Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 That listing shows a 2005 headlight. The seller should not have said '06-'07, but it turned out well in your favor I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it did! Of course it doesn't look like it quite has the 115000 miles of use that the other one does.
