The 2007-08 are the same, the difference is between the 4 door and the 5 door I do believe.

Hmmm.Nice catch, Siber.I was wondering how to answerthis question.

He's right. The sedan and hatchback share almost no body parts between them, including the fog lights.

I learned that on EBay, they have the round fogs like yours Richard but the are for the 4 door only. I Emailed the guy and he Emailed me back saying they would not fit into the HB or the S bumper.
The little things you pick up by accident LOL

Oh I knew that too, I just wasn't thinking along those lines at the time.

The factory lightsfor the sedan have that horizontal baras part of the bumperthat comes up to meet the side of the fog light housing too. The hatch does not. Just another point 'o' reference for your knowledge. ;)

Same chassis. Same drivetrain. Same suspension. But the bodies between the two are not identical at all. Well, perhaps the doors would interchange, but I'd have to check on that to be sure.

Maybe the front doors, the backs are different, the back of the HB door is taller

as far as i know,
the '07's have the rectangular fog lights.
altho the bumper is (i think) unchanged, they have round fog lights in a rectangular housing.
