what is the difference between 96-98 and 98-00 headlights? I know the cover seems clear on the newer ones but is there anything else different? will a 98 headlight assembley fit directly into a 96?

imported_koriental

i believe 98 headlights will fit into a 96.. 99-00 headlights are the ones that are different in fitment from the 96-98

imported_bananax

ahh how are they different? and are the 98 and up the clear ones?

imported_koriental

00-99 are shaped slightly different and have orange blinker bulbs with no amber covering and no amber reflector strip, but have a small amber reflector in the inner chrome wall of the blinker. The 96-98 blinkers have foggy glass cover and an amber reflector strip and an amber covering for the blinker bulb inside the housing

ahh so fitting 99-00 into a 96 wouldn't be an easy task then >_>

or is it?

is it even moddible
and if so, is it easy =p

NO. The 99-00 will not fit on the 96-98. I believe that you will have to mod the bumper and potentially the hood, fenders etc.

not a direct swap for sure.

Hood, fenders, bumper and lights would be needed. I think the rad support is also required.

damn, what a huge change ~.~

anyway to make 96-98s look like 99-00s ?

you would have to change the entire front end to make it work the headlights as well as everything from the doors up is a differnet shape and size, lots of people do the conversions
