98 fugly headlights DIY 99+ clear headlights?
Does anyone know if it would be a problem to swap the headlights of a 98 with the headlight casing of a 99+... and even better... if its possible to put the HID version on.. thanks

Yea, as long as you have amber bulbs, or ones that lite up amber..
Cops get **** I know around here for not having amber turn signals. I think SPP has some euros for like $350, but I've seen them for as cheap as $300.

Do the plug and play
The valeos are installed after trimming, but I have heard the trimming is not that hard if you are patient about it, I have had a couple of buddies do it. As far as your system frying, I dont think there is a risk there, but if stuff is wired wrong, always a risk. Alll in all, asthetic purposes, the valeo 1-piece with trimming looks great, but for ease of installation, do the 2 piece plug and play...

Doing it myself with cast-off (new) US-spec 1 piece projectors. Did my own harness too. $200 total.
On thursday, I am getting together with my mechanic for the grinding. Check w/the search function for info. I just hard-wired Radio Shack DC connectors through a newly drilled hole and caulked it back up. Installation should be easy. FYI-no fog light on projectors, less wattage used for better light and they look great. I did not want clear corners, so I stuck with US-spec, just as good.
