Default Del solbumper question

Will a 93 front bumper fit on my 97? If so how easy is it to hook lights up to the small holes that are in the 93 bumper style?

Yes it fits and I have a 97 bumper on a 94. The fog lights should be easy, but I don't have my 97 nearby to check the mounting holes. You may have to fabricate/drill a little.

The outer mounting for the fog lights bolts on right next to the inner headlight mount. I think the other end mounts to the bumper.

it'll fit and they'll work.
just think you'll have to buy the mounts for the ones next to the headlights.
why would you want to go back to the old body style?

...and not that you asked, but since I couldn't remember in my first post, here's how the lights mount.

I used a couple yellow zip ties to point out the mount holes. Same on 93-97.



If you need parts I can sell them, pm me.

You're not swapping a 95 bumper onto a 97 without much modification. Period.

Lol sorry I just realized that thread was confusing, I have a 97 sol with couple cracks in the front bumper from mostly subdivision driveways. I found a 95 sol front bumper for 20 bucks n figured it's so cheap might as well. But 95s have aux light holes beside the head lights. I was just wondering if they transfer fairly easily before I go buy it, and how togo about wiring new aux lights in. "I'm not very knowledgeable when I comes to electric wiring.

If I had to guess the bumper would fit fine, as for the wiring of the lights you will prob need to tap off the lighting harness.

You already asked this question about a 93 bumper. What is the difference between 93 & 95?

I think the older bumper with the aux lights (whatever they are called) looks better as well.

I think the wants to know how to wire the lights up, those bumper lights are for what, are they parking lights? do they come on with the lights? I am sure someone knows. Then he will have to tap off the harness to the lights he has.

HE didn't say anything about wiring up lights. He wants someone to spoonfeed him how to swap out bumpers. An hour job tops.

and i did just that.

those are running lights too as far as i know. just repositioned AUX lights. so hed have to move the harness up 6 inches to where the 93-95 ones sit.

this really is a cake walk idea.
