you will need new fenders, hood, bumper and possibly a new radiator support.

Either way you look at it, you'll be spending much more money if you purchase those cheaper 99-00 headlights.

so the lights you are looking at wont be that big of a save b/c of the large amount of money your going to have to spend on the conversion
