Default Converting 97 Front End to 98 Front End

My front end got rammed by a ram! i have a 97 GS and I like the 98 front end a bit better. Are the headlights compatible from a 97? and can I just bolt on a 98 front end?

Please don't tell me to go JDM.

Thanks

97 headlights are smaller and will not fit. You will need new headlights and bumper, the fenders and hood are compatible. Yes the front will bolt straight up.
