Default 2000 head/taillights on my 1996 EJ8?

I'm probably crazy but, i kinda like the look of the oem headlights/taillights on the 99-00 coupes, are they a direct bolt on to my 96 coupe, or do i have to do some modifications for the mounting?

no the 99-00 coupes have different front ends

i think the rear bumper will bolt up properly though

99-00 taillights will fit on your coupe with no modification,...to have 99-00 headlights,...you will need the following off a 99-00

hood
grille
front bumper
and both fenders

for the most part yes its a direct bolt on deal,..but if you use your existing rad support,..you would have to cut your 99-00 grille just a tad to get it to fit onto the rad support,..nothing major,..and nothing you can see with the hood closed and the front bumper on

How about an RSX conversion? Believe it or not, they make a direct bolt on kit for the front end conversion for the EK's.
