Yes, you can convert to the 05-06 headlights but you will have to convert the whole front end along with it.

1. Right Side Headlight- 33101-S6M-A51
2. Left Side Headlight- 33151-S6M-A51
3. Right Headlight Bracket- 71140-S6M-010
4. Left Headlight Bracket- 71190-S6M-010
5. Upper Grille- 71121-S6M-J01
6. Lower Grille- 71102-S6M-000
7. Right Fog Light Cover- 71103-S6M-000
8. Left Fog Light Cover- 71108-S6M-000
9. License Plate Bracket(not required in all states)- 71145-S6M-A02

Other parts you will need:

(2) Parking/City Light Sockets- 34301-S2A-003
(3-4ft) Power wiring
(4) Male connectors
(4) Female connectors
(2) 9005 Harnesses
(2) 9005 Bulbs

Turn Signals-* 02-04 turn signal socket will not fit into 05 housing without modification.
(2) 7440 Amber Bulbs
(2) 05+ Turn Signal Sockets
OR
To save money, you can shave off one of the smaller nubs off each 02-04 Turn Signal Socket, and it will fit into the 05+ housing. It will lock-in.

^^ I got this information from about 2 minutes of searching... just so you know...

Not worth it, and the rear lights don't flow well with the different front.

ive parked my rsx for the winter and am doing the 05 06 conversion, it is a sh*t load of work and is costing well over $1000, but when its all said and done its worth the money and ill be proud to make my rsx look new again.

You have it *** backwards, the 05-06' rear end looks like crap compared to the 02-04, it lacks any really defined shape. I think that the 05-06' front with a rear from an 02-04 looks best. I have had both an 04' & 06' Type-s and I much rather the front on the 06' but the rear of the 04'

Best looking exterior setup would be the 05-06' type-s with a mugen lip, mugen sides, 02-04' type-s rear with a mugen rear lip (yes, the mugen rear lip from the 05-06' fits the 02-04' rear)
