Default What's the difference between 2006 and 2008-2010 Headlights?

I was just about to order some new headlights for my 06, but when I ran my VIN, it looks like there are two types of headlights that will fit the car. Anyone have any idea what changed in 2008-2010/12? I combed through the diagrams, and the closest i could find was a little bulb holder for what might be an additional turn signal bulb or DRL? Someone I asked said that one of them may have a slightly blue tint to them? Sorry, I'm stumped, and it's about $120 difference. Just curious if anyone knows what the difference is.

This pic may help…looks like 08-2006 to 2010 are the same.
also, there may be other specifications for different countries…which would generate different part numbers, I have seen three so far.
what website are you using?
Try megazip.net
also, why do you need headlights?

My headlights have micro-fractures in them that won't polish out - and have deposits/odixation on the inside - which seems like a super pain in the *** to fix. I also have one projector that is misaligned after hitting a GIANT pothole hidden on the inside of a turn in Berzerkeley. I figured I would just get a new set because my headlights are the worst looking part of my car - and removing the bumper and stuff to get to them makes less inclined to want to go back in there over and over. Parts are from a very common parts fiche that US Dealers use - most dealers with online parts sales seem to use this system - this in particular is from Lexus of Scottsdale, they seem to have the best prices of any dealer i have found in the US - and they usually get stuff to me quickly.
