I think my 2005 GX470 (bought TODAY!) is the regular version (not the Sport). My question, however, is if I can buy the sport headlights to replace the original ones which have completely fogged through. Anyone know if they are interchangeable or if I must buy the normal versions?
The only difference is the Sport have a slight tint to them.
You have a choice between the OEM (better prices on eBay than your local dealer) or aftermarket (primarily Depo brand). Depo will be cheaper but there's a higher risk of a waterleak with them.

Thanks, Chip! That was very helpful. Here's why I need the replacements...
Use mothers metal polish (yes Mothers metal polish in the jar), and a buffing sponge with attachment to your drill. Use painters tape on the body paint around the headlight to protect the paint. Buff those puppies out and wife clean with a rag. It is amazing how 5 minutes of buffing for each headlight makes it crystal clear. I have used several methods but the mothers metal polish method has worked the best for me.
Of course you need to use something to protect the plastic headlight lenses from the UV sun rays to keep it looking shiny for a long time.
