Default 98+ bumper using 94-97 headlights... will it work?

i was wondering if any of you guys tried to put a 98+ style bumper on a 94-97 integ. i wanted to change the bumper so im getting the 98+ bumper. the thing is.. i only have the 94 headlights that came with my car. would it fit? i know the 98+ headlights are larger... so i figured the headlights would be small enough to fit in the holes. BUT... will it bolt on the same and fit?

however, some body kits will require you to have 94-97 lights to fit...

They won't fit. If you make it fit it will look ugly.

i tried it, and it has gaps around the outside headlights and a little on the insides. It doesn't look good, trust me.
SEll you 94-97 and buy my extra pair of 98+ headlights!

It works....lemme find the pic. It just has spaces around the outsides.

EDIT: Here's the pic. This is "KenTegra"'s GSR. I snagged the pic from one of his posts.

well yeah if your coo w/ a gap and looking like it doesnt fit right.. but if I'm doing a conversion (aesthetic mod) i'd want it to look flush/clean w/o gaps.. so i said no... although im not raggin on that car... you can see theres kinda more recessed/different positioned

thanks for your opinion, guys. gsracerboi... but i was asking if it worked... but i know what your saying about keepin everythin clean and ****. i wasnt plannin on keepin it that way for a long time. im still tryin to look for a pair of headlights and a buyer for mine.

thanks for the extra pic, sham.... kentegra helped me in the other post i put up on the cosmetic section.
