Post by NEON2NV2001 » Fri Mar 24, 2006 10:24 am

I got some 03-up headlights that I'm painting the inside black,my question is can I put them on a 01 xenon front bumper.The xenon bumper is urethan so I don't know If I can cut the bumper to make the headlights fit or do I need to sell my front bumper and get another urethan bumper that will fit a 03-up headlights.

yeah I totally agree I love the look of the 00-02 headlights. Id throw some lids on there and your front end would look sick. I really dont like the cross eyed look of the 03+ style

IF you insist on keeping the 03+ lights, get an 03+ front bumper and just sell the one you have....that way someone can still use it and you dont risk cutting up a bumper that someone else could use

There is no need to cut the bumper to make 03+ headlights fit on a bumper that was designed to fit 00-02.

However, you will have gaps where your 00-02 blinkers USED to be....

if its fiberglass... it would definetly need to be cut.

i don't know about the poly... check out importkiller's car, i don't think he cut anything.
