Illuminated visor swap

I'd like to put new visors on my 2004 R53. I've found some off of a 2005. Are these going to be a direct swap?

I noticed when looking at brand new visors the site notes which build year (such as "before 7/2004") that the vehicle was made. Is this really an issue? Does it really matter?

Be careful, visors are different if you have a sunroof and if you don't. I tried buying some on eBay some time ago but the seller couldn't tell me where they came from.
Turned out they didn't fit so I had to send them back. Used ones will break sooner than new ones, the mechanical design is not very good on those.
