I don't have a pic, the only difference there will be is a notable gap between the head lights and the center of the bumper. Nothing major, since the 97+ look way better anyways.

I'll try and reach you on msn ed, or you can always call me lol.

This is my friend's car when he had the 95-96 style bumper with the 97-99 headlights. Didn't look bad IMO.

are you talking about the ones in the headlight on the ones on the bumper? if it's the headlight ones, you have to take off the headlights, use a heat gun or over, open them up, unscrew the amber lens, reseal them, and bolt them back on. not that hard of a job. if you are talking about the side markers on the bumper, check ebay.

i'm guessing you are referring to these:



yeah, that's what i have, well had. i got tired of the cops giving me shit for clear side marker lights so wrapped them with cf to go along with the hood. problem solved.
