I lucked out and got my 99+ headlights for $29 each at the JY. They never have 3rd gens there. This one was a cash for clunker. They throw a much beter beam pattern. The sides of the road are lit up much better. A must have here in the Hill Country of Texas where deer wait for the precise moment to leap in front of you.

another great Ritzy writeup and most helpful for the details on the grille work too. Adding the pics is sure helpful and thanks for keeping your hosting account rolling so we can see them.
I am noticing what appears to be a pin switch near the hood front edge rubber washer- with the dual washers and the one tucked under the fender tab-what's up with that ?
you got me curious

Enjoyed the write up, thanks again. About to get '99s on mine as well after newly painted hood and fender this week.
If anybody is wanting to sell theirs, hit me up please...or give away.

Thanks for the post. I used it to swap out the old, broken lenses on my 1997 for fresh TYC replacements off ebay. Everything went very smoothly with the exception of a few broken grill clips. (Fortunately, I had a box of spares in the shop.) The TYC replacements seem to be top notch, and a pair can be purchased for under $100 with brackets and bulbs.
Note: I did have to adjust the reflectors a bit. I did this with the handle of a screwdriver. Not a major issue.

Came back across this while searching for the "below the headlight trim piece" I believe is officially called a Filler Panel.
Wondered if anyone out there had found something constructive to mod that piece out with?
Perhaps like some LED's for Daytime Running Lights or other auxiliary lighting.
