Default Headlight Splitters Question

I'm looking to buy some headlight splitters for my 2011 V6. I have never ordered these before and just wondering a couple things...

is there a difference in the length of the headlights for 2011 V6 and GT ? Because these websites I'm finding them on have 2011 V6 ones and 2011 GT ones, same as the 2010...

Could i order a pair of the 2010 ones and they will fit perfectly or no?

I thought there was no difference in between the 2010 V6 GT and 2011 V6 and GT, last time i checked all 4 had the same head lights?

Am i wrong?

thanks guys

the body style changed in 2010 so anything 2010 and beyond should work for you

the only difference between v6 and gt is that the center trapezoid edges on the grill are painted on the v6, the physical parts are all the same.

I think the actual difference between the products may be what kind of headlight you have. The normal headlights have the light on the outside and the signals on the inside like yours whereas the HID lights have the lights on the inside and the signals on the outside.

Just a quick look on eBay and it looks like the GT splitters are longer than the V6. I think the headlights are the same but its the section of the bumper that is between the grill and the headlights that is different.

should look great on your car with the grill split and your turns signals inside of your headlights are split kinda to

you make a good point, I was actually looking to buy a new front grille, but I'm going to hold off because of your comment. I think you might be right...
