Plenty of noob questions i need help with

Do headlights & tail lights from either a 335, 328, 330 fit each other? So for example and bare with me i'm still learning, if go out and buy headlights for a 335 would it fit on a 328? does the year matter if its within 07-10? The newer 328 has nicer looking tail lights is that something i change in my '08 328 to look like? If so what would i have to look for?

Okay, normally, I'd say search but I guess I'm feeling nice tonight.

- The headlights are all the same size. Your car is the pre-lci ('06-'08) model. If you have pre-lci halogen lights right now, you can upgrade to the pre-lci xenons (with a harness for errorfree operation), the lci ('08-'10) halogens (this would be a plug and play option for you), or the lci xenons (harness and coding). FYI, 335i/xi come with xenons standard.

- The taillights are a little more difficult. While the outer halves of the taillights are a physical fit for the e90 body, the inners are different. To swap these onto your car, you'll need to get the e90lci taillights and a lci trunk lid. Once you do the physical swap, you're gonna need to get some coding done.

Both of these are pretty pricey swaps, just letting you know. Search the forums a bit and you'll see that MANY members have done these swaps before.
