98 stand out more. 94-97 spec is shorter in size. plus 98 have amber corner, but go sivtec is nice

Don't forget the corner light brackets as well...

I did the 98+ front and rear conversion on my 96.

someone told me a 98+ headlight will not fit on my 96 integra, meaning the bolt holes won't line up and etc etc....is this true or bs?

it will line up it just that the 98+ head lights are bigger and stick towards the front more to fit the 98+ bumper. I own a 96 integra and did the conversion.

for the longest time, i had been wanting to the a 98+ conversion, but ever since i got my ITR lip, i fell in love with the 94-97 front end and decided to stick with it.

i heard that the aftermarket 98 front bumper that i'm getting does not have the corner light signal brackets. is the bracket with a slot where you put your signal lights's tab into. is this true? or do i need to get that also? and where at? the dealership?
