Its possible but you have to buy a 02-03 bumper, fenders and hood... Do a search someone did it already....

That's a lot of work for just 02 headlights. I figure better off clearing them.

You're right, but I think they look a hell of a lot better. Same goes for the tails.

It'll be around $1,100 for all the parts, give or take. But figure that I'd sell the old parts, it wont be that big of a whole in my wallet.

I really like the look of the 2002 lights, head and tails, but I can't afford an '02+. '99 will have cheaper insurance and will be baught cheaper, and look just as good.

I'm sure you mean 02+, 01' front is the same as the 99' and 00'.

"I'm sure you mean 02+, 01' front is the same as the 99' and 00'."

AND it wouldn't be new... Someone else who got in a front end wreck also has done it...
