Signals are integrated into the 03+ headlights.....same harness though....

Need to change the bumper though I'm pretty sure.

No, thats wrong you cannot use the same bumper. You will need the 03+ bumper or of course bodykit for 03+. Trust me I have a 2000 neon es and tried the swap w/my 03 for the hell of it. And the 03+ headlights would not fit. Trust me. You NEED the 03+ bumper. I have pics of my 2000 with the 03 headlights and bumper. If you want to see pm me... Makes it look just light the 03+... duh i guess. :roll:

Yes the fenders are same shape but lights from 03 and up are different in shape. Hence the bumper is shaped to the contour of the lights.. So yes to do the swap you need 03+ bumper and headlights.. a little blurry but heres my 2000 Es...paint it you now have an 03+ model 8) ...sort of :lol: :

NEW HEADLIGHTS

Post by ImportKiller » Sat Sep 10, 2005 12:06 am

I upgraded the headlights on my 2000, I have the versus motorsports urethane kit and I had to trim a little of the bumper underneath the headlight for them to sit properly, easy install, same bolts, same harness plugs. Terrific upgrade, if you dont have the lights yet, I am thinking of selling my pair of Chrome eyebrow SRT-4 Headlghts, to help buy a pair of the new euro black style, wont be able to afford morettes when they come out, so, next best i guess. LATER!
