Default Can I put a 94/95 front bumper on a 96/97 ?

I did some searching here on bumpers but came up with nothing.
Has anyone swapped front bumpers? I need to know if the front bumper from a 94/95 Accord fits a 96/97 Accord. Do the headlights fit the same?
Thanks.

i believe that the clips are all the same. i took the bumper of my 97 and it was the same procedure i did when i had my 94. i had to take the bumper off to black out my headlights

yes u can, all the clips,screws, whatever line up fine, bumpers are actually different cuz of the lip, bumper lights are longer and bumper grill... but yes it does fit.

he asked if the bumper from the 94-95 fits the 96-97 and it doesnt, the 96-97 fits the 94-95 just cuz its bigger but the smaller 94-95 cant go on the 96-97 the pic above is shoing a 96-97 bumper on a 94-95 accord

i have wondered this. if you have not done it or do not have direct experience i don't think you should comment. taking 95's and 97's are the same procedure?
changing my civic or accord wheels is the same but they do not match.

you can put an nsx motor in you're accord also. but it's not bolt on and i believe, that's the gentleman's inquiry.
regards,
m.a.d.

he asked if they would wrok, Archangel hit it dead on the naill

i am sure if he wanted some customized bumper set up "mad" then he would just cut the front end of a 94 and weld it on the 96

dont look into the question more then there is

Thanks for the replies.
Just for the record, the 94/95 front bumper does indeed fit the 96/97.
I just did it. I replaced the bumper cover, bumper support, and bumper lights.
I helped a friend fix his accord and the junk yard had a mint 95 front bumper and they sold it for cheap so we took the chance.
thanks.

EDIT:
Even though I don't have an accord right now, I used to have a 95 EX coupe with a whole bunch of stuff. I sold the car, but kept the 18X8 Racinghart Type C for an Accord reborn project of mine. Here are a couple of pics.
