Will 2000 E39 headlights fit a 2000 M5?

I would like to replace my headlights as the covers are pretty dingy from rock hits and such. Does anyone know if the standard E39 headlights from 2000 are the same as the M5 lights?

Thanks,

Bill

Great - thanks for the reply. They look the same but you never can tell. The car has 65,000 miles on it, so it is no surprise that the lenses are pretty crudded up at this point. Why they use plastic lenses, however, in such a high end car is beyond me.
