Default difference between a 99-00 and 96, 97, 98 headlamp

Hello,
Is the only difference between a 99-00 and 96, 97, 98 headlamp the amber color side markers? or is the mounting brackets different.

thanks,

the 99-00 are shaped different from 96-98 so they arent interchangeable. If you want to use say 99-00 headlights on a 96-98 you will have to change your fenders, hood, grill and bumper.

the 96-98 headlights are different size from the 99-2000. think they're longer/wider, the 99-2000 grille is longer than the 96-98.
not sure about the mounting brackets, but i would assume they are different. they are not interchangable

I currently have amber LED side markers with projector headlights and clear side markers. like everyone said they are leaking and i need to replace them back to OEM lights. are there any decent headlights that are as sealed as OEM with clear side markers?

For 99-00 or 96-98? eBay does have them. That is where I got the images from.

96-98 http://search.ebay.com/search/...t+oem
Much cheaper if you look in the H-T classifieds when you have access.

They look almost identical, shape-wise. Other than the amber side markers, they look the same to me. although the 99-00 do look longer, and curved a bit more. is there any other detail i'm missing?

I think he wants the '96-'98 SiR type headlights.

Here are some. Note that the first set WILL go up in price quite a bit over the next four days until the auction ends.

The point along the inside is much sharper on the '99-'00 and there is an angle at the top of the turn signal on the '99-'00, while there isn't on the '96-'98 turn signal (it's just round instead). Also, I do believe the '99-'00 headlight is longer along the bottom than the '96-'98 headlight.

Better comparison pics.

'96-'98


'99-'00

You're going to have to start looking for them and check the prices. eBay listed that one set at $300 and LwdJdmR said PWJDM sells them for $370.
