OEM Xenon Projector Headlamps on 04 mini

I was planning on doing this so I thought that I'd go ahead and look on ebay. Most of them say "7/04" and on and when I looked at my car, stamped on the radiator is "7/03." So would it still be possible for me to have the projector xenon's on my 04 mini? I already have xenons, but not the ones with the projector

Basically...

This is what I have:

Pretty much a plug and play. Buy them and hook them up.

Since you have Xenon already it is plug and play. If you had regular halogens then you needed additional items to make them work.

It's not a restriction but more of a note for a model change over. In 05 you started to have the FACELIFT cars. These had the newer lights as well as some other enhancements. 07/04 would be about right for the 05's to start. That would have been why they put that note in there just so people would be sure they got the right part that ORIGINALITY came on the car. As stated above they should be PnP.
