Did the headlights change over the years?

Are the headlight assemblies the same throughout the years for our cars? Could I replace with any year?

The coupes are all the same, the only difference is the AFS or on AFS. Depending on if you got the package or not.

In addition to the AFS option, for model year 2010 and up the housings are a black chrome finish. Before that they are plain chrome. Also, certain models had fog lights integrated into the headlight housing, others (Like the IPL) had them in the air dam. If you had non fog light housings, the fog light was replaced with a small bulb that turned on with your parking lights.

Ithought the wire harness was different, but the headlights with fogs in the bumper still have a fog light bulbs in place.

All coupes prior to 2011 has chrome housings and integrated fog lamps.
Al coupes 2011 to 2015 have black chrome housings without integrated fog lamps as those are now integrated into the front bumper

Do the black lights mean they have the AFS system?

Yes 2013 lights will fit an 2008 just keep in mind about the fogs and AFS personally 2013 lights are nicer because of there inner housing.

Indeed they will "fit" but the bulbs for the fogs wont fit and the wiring is slightly different to route the fogs to the bumper mounted fog lights as opposed to being integrated with the headlight housing.

So the afs system won't work right with a 2008? And I have a 2008s coupe but with no fogs. Anyone know where I can find fog lights wires and bezels? I can only find fog light assembly.

I wrote a DIY on installing OEM bumper fogs on 2010 and earlier.
See the DIY section.
