heads

hi... I would appreciate anyone letting me know if the newer headlights like on the 2003 will fit the 2000-02 models... I have a 2001 LS Sport
The new headlights have clearer corners, which I like. I have till tomorrow to decide... please let me know specifically!

Thanks

Want clear corners? Do what I did, because the new lamps are very expensive, and have to be modified to fit into the pre 03 bodies.

I removed my headlamps, and put them in my mommy's oven at about 200F, for about 10 minutes.

The clips on the bottom are popped off, and I seperated the plastic lense from the grey body with 2 flat screwdrivers.

The orange piece of plastic just pops out of the grey frame, and that's all there is to making a clear corner on the LS.

I used a bead of silicone when I resealed the lights, because they leaked anyways before they were seperated.

An amber bulb was used, and the effect is awesome at night - a projected orange beam of light.

Let me know if and how you make out, OK?

Enjoy,

If your current headlights have gray sealant, the above method will work. If they have black sealant, don't bother. The black is silicone and won't melt until about 600*F...well after the polycarbonate lens is a puddle.
