96-99 headlights on a 95
 
I know this might take some work, but I was wondering if anyone had attempted to convert over the bezel for late model headlights so it'll fit on the 92-95's (Specifically in my case I'm aiming at the 95).

The lamps look alot better then the older ones.

Comments?

Isn't the headlight shape slightly different and therefore work would need to be done on the hood to make them fit right?

yes the shapes are different but depending how good you are at body work, it can be done.

and it has been done before:

Not sure. When I was considering this up at your place it was idle thought. I didn't compare the shape between the 97 and the 95.

Ya. Looks like an enormous PITA. Guess I'll explore some other options.

I'd practice on some junkyard stuff first before I did it. Nearly perfect paint on the 95 means I'm loath to mess with the exterior too much.

Good to hear...(keep the damn gas cap off it!)

The grill is all you need to work on I think.
