Default How to tell the difference, Windshield

Tonight I was looking through craigslist and I came across a HD king sized 18" QD smoked windshield for a 2006 FB.
Anyway I call the guy and asked him if it was a the windshield for aux lights or not.
He didn't know as it was his brothers.
Can anybody tell me how i can physically tell the difference between the windshield for a FB with and without aux. lights?

I think this windshield is either #58278-95 or #57400113.
I think the shield for the aux lights has a wider space on the QD brackets.
But I don't know if there are other differences?
Thanks

Yes it should just be the width. Looks like you do not have aux lights from your pic. If it is for an aux light set up you can use it all you will need is a longer bolt and some spacers.

The windshield mounting brackets are different.....w/o aux lights the bracket has a bend in it, with aux lights it is straight

I know this isn't a good pic, but can anyone tell if this shield is for a FB with or without aux lights?
Thanks
