doesn't look like it, but I imagine it'd fit. It's gotta have the same shape.

Well, first, you'd have a clean new looking headlight, the other would be dirty.

Second, I'm not TOTALLY sure but I think the aftermarket doesn't have the little plastic "nipple".

Oh. Didn't catch that, my bad.

It's fine then. But remember, it being aftermarket, it might take a bit to fit it on there, but it's the same shape, so it WILL go on.

If you have any problems, just take the halo insert out, and mount the factory headlight brackets on the back. Would be the same thing

Yeah, they will fit right on there. Just helped a friend do that with his set. They are identical...straight swap.
