i have a 00 front end on my 96 ej8. i have a lil problem where the tip of the headlight( botton corner of the housing that ends near the front grille) sticks out past the bumper and the bumper doesnt line up with the rad support. now i understand that the 99 rad support is different from the 96 support but how can it be remedied?

 

i dont get it did you use a 96-98 rad support? and btw wrong section

my problem is that the headlight casing stick out past the bumper where the grill is

You do not need to necessarily need to swap out the rad support. Sure in a perfect world you would or if say you were in a front end fender bender and did the swap it would make it less work to swap out the 96-98 support for the 99-00, but there are plenty of cars on here including one of my family members that have it done using the 96-98 with NO problems or imperfections at all. I recommend following this tutorial closely as this might help you with your problem http://www.jdmuniverse.com/for...rsion
