Swapping the headlights and backlights on AE111

Postby alastabesta » Sun Dec 26, 2004 2:53 pm

Want to swap my ones with the new model clearlight ones but dunno if they are of the same size...? Anyone done such conversions before?

The tail lights just bolt into place no problem, front lights are a bit different they will bolt in allright but I am pretty sure that you will have to modify the bumper to suit or just change the front bumper to facelift one I have a 1998 Levin BZR front bumper for sale if you are interested.

i'm not changing the aux lights tho (I like the square ones better :D )
so would that mean both would be a straight bolt on?

for front end conversion, the indicators and headlights will bolt in no problem from facelift model. You will have to do some rewiring for the double headlight setup.
You will also have to change the bumper as well to face lift since the facelight crystal headlights stick out a bit further.


the rear lights are straight swap.
