Using 94-97 headlights will leave a gap between the light and bumper if you have the 98+ bumper.

98+



94-97 , which IMO look the best with some 94-97 full amber turn signals



You need everything from 98+ for a full front end conversion (bumper/lights/turn signals)

The lights on the left are 98-01 the others are 94-97. The one on the left are almost 3/4" larger, in diameter.
