STS Headlight swap

Will the projector headlight assembly from newer cadillac sts's (98 - 01) fit on the older models (93 - 96)?

You have to make an adapter for the headlight fluid reservoir, because the one on the newer sts has a laser 7 output.

^ this, and there may also be an issue with the blinker fluid resevoir because they are bigger on the older ones..

Don't listen to these @!#$ idiots, as they obviously don't know what they are talking about. The headlight and blinker fluid reservoirs are the exact same size on the old ones as they are are on the new ones...

theyre all retarded, ive built dozens of sets of projector headlights and i can tell you the newer ones use dot14 fluid with the small resivours, and youll have to remove the whole radiator support to fit these in, plus youll have to have a seperate 12v battery to power the lights. its best to put the second battery in your fender. save your self some time and buy some off ebay to fit your car, all the ones on ebay are top quality and very bright\ with 2 year warranties.

But didn't they change reservoirs sizes mid year on one of those STS's? to make room for the HID's with the Lazer 7's. He could just hit up his local Cadillac dealer parts counter and find out if the older ones are compatible with the non-lazer 7 housings.

I read somewhere that each light requires its own power supply. Plus a battery in each fender will help with weight balance and keep the front wheels planted (due to the extra weight).

I don't see why they wouldn't aside from minor design changes they made(one peice headlight/turnsignal assemly from '98-2003) just be sure to get all the wiring for the headlights from the donor car or junkyard.

FWIW, yes and no. A front clip swap is in order.
