Re: Eclipse headlight conversion
The 95-96 are different sizes then the 97-99. You need the front bumper of the same years headlights in order for it to fit. Hope that made sense.

the 95-96 are about a inch longer then the 97-99 ones... you could put the newer lights in ur 95-96 bumper but it'll have a little gap, or jus get a 97-99 style bumper, since you have to take the bumper off to get the headlights out anyways. good luck you on ur new car.. DSMs kick ass..

I'm planning on getting a 2GB front bumper in awhile or so. Only thing that sucks is that the 2GB headlights fog up a lot, but shouldn't be a problem if you treat them with chemicals b4 the install.

Re: Eclipse headlight conversion
you can use your bumper with the 97-99 headlights, but there will be a gap. looks better with a late model front end.
edit: someone already said this....damn it.
