hey i was wondering does anyone know if there is any difference in the 01/02 headlight assembly and the 03 headlight. I know 01/02 has chrome trim inside and the 03 has black one but other then that anything???

Be aware that the lense has paint on the edge. The 01-02s have silver paint along the edge near the turn signals, where the 03s have black paint.

The bezels are also slightly different. The turn signal reflectors are part of the bezel on the 01-02s, and they are not part of the bezel on the 03s (theyre just screwed in).

Other then that, the housings are the same.

well i was gonna take them apart anyway and take the reflectors out and used the black bezels off my 03 to put into them so that will work fine? are u talking about where the reflector is because when i took mine apart i didnt see the paint near the turn signals

If youre just swapping bezels, you wont have any issues.

The paint I was talking about is on the lense itself. Look at the light where it meets the fender. Theres a silver stripe on the 01-02s, or a black stripe on the 03s.

It wont effect what youre doing though.

Yup. Thats part of the reason I had no problem destroying the 01-02 set I had for the retrofit. The silverstriped lense wasnt going on my car.
