Just the bulbs? or the whole light assembly? You dont have to get 99-00 si bulbs to get rid of the yellow.

entire headlamp assembly. whoever she bought the car from took the glass off of the bracket and then siliconed the glass back on and moisture has gotton in there. i dont want to pull it apart and fuck with it, so i figured i would just replace them both, and while im doing it i figured i might as well see if the si lamp assembly fit, since they arent all fuckin bubbley

The 99-00 Headlights will not fit on the 96-98 Models.

If you did want to convert it to a 99-00 front end, you would need the fenders, hood, bumper, and *core support

* The core support is optional, if you you don't get one, you need to drill holes to screw it on tightly

Goodluck man

Just buy some 96-98 jdm headlights, they are clear so they will get rid of those "nasty yellow tumors" LOL that 96-98's have.

I would suggest after buying the OEM-style JDM or Clear headlights, go to Home Depot and buy some weather sealer in one of those push tubes with a cocking gun (unless you already have one). Make an extra layer of sealer on top of the sealer thats already on the lights. Take you time and make sure you have it all covered. I did this to my new Clear 96-98 headlights a year ago after throwing out my fogged-up Dual-Halo Projectors. Best thing I could have done. My car has endured Detroit winters and Miami summers with NO FOGGING OR YELLOWING.
