yes, the headlights on a 97 are different then on a 96. what i did for now was to shave back the part of the bumper that overlapped the headlights, basically thinning them so i could slide the headlights behind the bumper. Once i did that i had to loosen the fenders to enable the headlights to slide in behind the 97 bumper
(it sounds complicated but its really not)
mrlocalpimp could give you advice on this too

i also had to shave about an inch off the edges of the bumper support too and shave the middle scoop by the liscense plate to fit the bumper support

that is all
