They are interchangeable as long as you also change the bumper, grill, headlights, hood, and rad support.

Answered your own question which leads me to believe you're looking for someone to tell you differently.

99-00 fenders will only work with 99-00 headlights (which consequently will only work with 99-00 hood, bumper, and grill). so it is not a direct swap unless you want to do the entire front end.

Then they are NOT interchangeable. You can put on a shoe two sizes too small and it won't fit correctly. Same thing. It "almost fits" doesn't cut it.
