its really easy...
96-98 headlamps are curvier.
99-00 are sharper at the corners.
96-98 USDM headlamos have a reflector running along the bottom of the corner bulb. Most aftermarket headlamps for 96-98 will still have a reflector there, but it will either be clear or not present at all. Outter housing is kinda transparent, but ribbed (for her pleasure
)
99-00 have a small triangular looking reflector. Also, the outter housing is a little bit clearer.
