Confused. Is it 2008 or 2018?
2012 Headlight Replacement
I ordered a headlight unit for a 2012 MDX but received one for a 2018 instead.
The ballast has a slightly different bolt pattern, but otherwise the 2018 headlight appears to fit the car. Any idea if the ballast is the only difference? If so can I buy a new ballast (for an ‘08) and still come out ahead, because the headlight I bought cost about $160, and the correct, 2012 units cost about $560 each.

Car is a ‘12. Headlight assembly appears to be for the previous gen.
You probably mean 2008, not 2018. No, the 2007-2009 headlights will not fit 2010-2013 cars without bumper modification.Any idea if the ballast is the only difference?
Right. Sorry. 2008 light assembly. Not 2018. Bummer that it won’t work. Makes sense. Otherwise there would not be such a big price difference between the two.You probably mean 2008, not 2018. No, the 2007-2009 headlights will not fit 2010-2013 cars without bumper modification.
Thanks for the info.
