00+ to 95-99 Front end...
Sunday, January 15, 2006 10:04 PM
I searched and came up with either not definitive answers or mixed so I thought I would ask what I needed to know specifically


I have a RKSport Ram Air hood and I am getting some Steel Z3s from Jason for a 95-99.. I have a Drift Urethane Front coming sat for 95-99. and I have Black projectors and corners for 95-99 ( obviously) but my car is a 2001and im wanting to do the samething thing.. Will this be all I need besides wires? and does anyone know how it will wire up.. I am trading harnesses with Stephen ( MantaZ ) and wanted to know what exactly we will have to swap as far as wires ? What about fogs ? Do we swap that somehow ?

Also, Does anyone know if the new fenders from Jason will have the corner brackets that I need welded on or will I need that seperate ?

Thanks I hope this whole conversion goes easy and im sure it will due to all you guys help

Will this be all I need besides wires?
Headlights,Turnsignals,Fenders,Bumper,Wiring, Bulbs, and Hood.. all you need which u have or i have sitting in my car

and does anyone know how it will wire up..
From what everyone i've asked has told me, when we take off our bumpers, we unbolt the windshield resivoir and set it aside, there is a connector under the battery tray.. disconnect, snake old wires out, snake new ones in and connect

I am trading harnesses with Stephen ( MantaZ ) and wanted to know what exactly we will have to swap as far as wires ?
Doing the connector these are what you will be getting off me: (2)9006 Pigtails[headlights] / (2)9005 Pigtails[headlights] / (2)3157 Pigtails[Bumper turnsignals] / (2)194 Pigtails[Corner turnsignals] / (2)Foglight pigtails[Foglights, don't know bulb size off top of my head]

What about fogs ? Do we swap that somehow ?
I was told they were wired into that connector. If i can get my car on the lift im gonna try and trace the wiring and see for sure. Also i need to find out if i can wire my 96 fogs to your 00 harness. Cuz as i've said i like my 96 fogs lol and we can just cap your wires if u still don't want fogs

Also, Does anyone know if the new fenders from Jason will have the corner brackets that I need welded on or will I need that seperate ?
They should be already on them.. im 99% sure that they are on there.. IF, and i mean a big if.. for sum reason they don't come on them.. we got my stock fenders.. dremel.. and some jbweld or i can try and tack weld em on there..

I've told ya i have pretty much everything covered
If i don't know, then i am working on it to find out

Anyone feel free to add to it..

Thank You It would be cool if it were a sticky. I just want it to easily be found for those searching for it.

From what I understand, I have heard this will work in reverse for people wanting 2k lights, but don't quote me on that.

Lenko, i should have one for the 96-00 swap for ya with pics.. i'll prolly do one for the 01-99 with pics too that can go along with kenwood's

Jeff are you planning on mounting everything for your front end before you come up? Prolly make the process a lil smoother if everything was test fitted already.. can't wait man.
