A picture is worth 1000 words...



4.6is (as all pre-facelift cars) has top and bottom edges of headlight that are close to parallel, with small semi-circular sections along the bottom edge. The left and right fender front edge is a straight line joint with the bumper.



4.8is (as all LCI or facelift cars) have curvy headlights, angel eye marker lights and an upward hooked front fender/bumper interface.

There are many other differences too (the lower line of the hood under the kidney grills, the fog lamp escutcheon, etc.) but the headlights are the really obvious item.
