It's not about the socket. The shape is different

I believe you'd need to do the entire facelift.

My cousin done a full 4.8is facelift on his 4.6is and I'm thinking abou doing the same now as I have located alot of the parts at a real cheap price.

From memory the headlight wiring needs to be modified to fit the 2004+ lights,
I think someone on here actually does a kit.

you could ask SuaveX5. I remember he posted about headlight differences when doing his facelift.
