I'm not sure but I have heard a lot about the lights on a 3rd gen are useless. However the 06+ ones I don't know. If your just in it for the looks I imagine the front wont work due to the shape and probably different mounting but I don't have an answer. The poor lighting that I hear of may be something to think about though.

Here maybe this will help you. I asked the guy how he did it but didn't get an answer. I know for a fact that you will need a new front bumper.
