03+ headlight conversion

[andrew43420]

has anyone ever put the 03+ headlights on a 95+ cavalier? what would you think i would need? im thinking the hood, obvious wiring, anything else id be missing?

you need headlamps, hood, need to cut the cut the brackets off the fenders for the 95-99 corners, need front bumper and crush pad need to the headlamp harness dealy. and if you are bothered about the plastic cover for the salm panel

Hey lookin to do this as well. How do the 00 - 02 corner lights stay on my 97 if i chop the corner lense bracket out like instructions say?

[PsychoJJ]

Because us 03+ guys dont have corner lights so there is no need for the corner light brackets.

I want to do a 95-99 to 00-02 conversion, nothing to do with 03+....lol.

[PsychoJJ]

Ah, my bad, I thought you where wanting to do the 03+ conversion as well.

00-02 corners are attached to the headlamp

There is a bracket that hold the headlights, fender and bumper all together. Been there, done this... It can be done without it, but i personally like doing things once and the right way.

coolio so its not tooo hard?

See the silver bracket the pigtails are coming through and resting on? Thats the bracket you need.

I have a wiring diagram, but you loose your DRL's so it makes life easy. Then you just need an 00-02 bumper and trim some of the crush guard.

Thanks so much, I hate DRL, they dont even work on my car anyways....where do you get that bracket? and how do you get it in?!

[yhandor]

And a hood you would need wouldn't you? it seems a bit different

Id like to keep my 97 z24 bumper too, looks way better than the 00-02's.
