    headlight conversion info needed

    i was wondering has anybody converted their 2002 headlights to the headlights of a 1998-2000 rolla.. i was planning on changing my kit to one from the earlier models so now i need a lil info on swapping the headlights.... will i need a new wire harness and if so, where would i find one.next, could i get away with having the same hood and fenders or would those have to be replaced also? plus if anybody knows where i could get headlamps and corner lenses for cheap that would be also very helpful..thx

    Correct me if I'm wrong... but all I think you'd need is the following:

    98-00 headlamps and corners
    98-00 bumper/or kit

    you will need an H4 harness, i'm sure you can find these at an autoparts store. you should be able to connect the low/high beam wires to the harness and combine the grounds.

    i'm not sure if the mounting points for the headlight brackets are the same, you might want to get two full assemblies w/brackets

    because the lights and corners dont fit right.. its hard to get everything to mount right and the wiring isnt straightforward

    PM deathsight. He has a thread wanting to do a conversion from 98-00 to an 01-01. Both of you could basically just swap parts and both conversions be complete.
