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.

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,
