I would just buy the headlights IMO.

I had 97 lights on my 96 bumper and i could fit my entire FIST in the gap.

So you would have to take off a fist size of bumper from each side near the headlight. Not worth the trouble imo

You would have to grind some of the plastic on the back of the bumper where it overlaps the lights. Since your grinding on the back of the bumper you wouldn't need to bondo or paint anything. Using the 95-96 lights on a 97-99 bumper won't leave you with much of a gap since the bumper will overlap the lights. The other way around, 97-99 lights on a 95-96 bumper will leave a pretty big gap though.
