Headlights same in both FC & FD?

Can you swap headlights between the FC & FD? I'm looking at a set of projector headlights on Ebay and they supposedly fit both the FC & FD. Can anyone answer if that sounds right?

Thanks

no.

The housings are shaped differently and unless you've swapped your stock housings for a set of H4s, the bulbs and lamp are one piece, so you can't interchange them.

You could probably fit a set of FD lamps (housings) into an FC, but it wouldn't look pretty.

I'm not concerned about the bulbs & lamps, I purchased a set & kit from HIDextra. The part I'm wondering about is if the housing I'm looking at will fit in a FD. The ebay listing says the projector lenses will fit both the FC & FD.
Here's the link if that helps at all...

He's right. Check out your stock lights. See how they're not perfectly rectangle like an FC or the ones in that auction? Those won't fit in your pop-ups.

Thanks for the help guys.
I bought a HID kit, does anyone know where I can buy either projector lenses or at least a clear lens to replace the current stock ones?

I got my housings off of eBay, and they're "JDM" so the light pattern's all fucked up because they drive on the left side of the road in Japan.

EDIT: holy crap, I've never seen these. I want.
