Differences between 95-96 Fog lights and 97-99 fog lights
Hey guys, I bought my car almost a year ago and its a 96 SE. The fog lights where broken but i didn't find it much of a problem at the time because i got a great price for it. Now that i brought the car back to shape I want to get the fog lights back in so there won't be 2 useless holes in my bumper any more. Come to find out that finding 95-96 Fog lights are nearly impossible or expensive as hell. What's the difference between the 95-96 and 97-99 fog lights? Would I be able to buy the 97-99 fog lights and put them in since they are more common around the net and cheaper? Appreciate all the info.

Yeah i like the 97 front end, i just like the 96 grill more, dont really dig that line that leads to the hamburger, prefer the mesh. I might just have to wait for a 95-96 fog lights to come up in classifieds, or start looking into a 97 conversion.

I'll agree with you on the 95-96 grill. I wish There was a way of using it with the 97 bumper without there being gaps...

I suppose I was trying to say, if you're gonna be spending a considerable amount on 95 fogs, maybe spend a bit more for the newer front end. I know bumpers and grills are CHEAP from certifit. Whatever floats your boat.

I have had questions which I thought had obvious answers. I still wanted to have a DEFINITE yes or no before dumping money into a decision based on the answer.

However there is one drivers side listed on there right now if you want to try your luck at that one and then look for a passenger side.

I did see that one side on Ebay and was thinking about it. The only universal ones i found on ebay are the round ones which might look nice if someone made a round whole in their bumper for it but i already have 2 big holes made for the 95-96 fogs that used to be there before i got the car so it wouldn't make sense to put the circular ones and make it look really riced out.
Money is definently an issue as i am a college student and can't throw all my money to my car no matter how much I want to. And i understood Mowgli, since fogs for my year are really expensive i might just save up more and do a whole conversion but I want to try my luck at getting the fogs since it would be cheaper then a whole conversion would be. I was thinking of trying the 97-99 fogs with a little conversion if it was possible which is why i started the thread, but it doesn't seem possible without doing the whole conversion to make it look right.

yes i have made this mistake before. i have a 96 and i bought 97-99 foglights on ebay for $140 shipped. they came with the mounting brackets and everything. my front bumper is aftermarket and it still would fit.
when i finally found 95-96 fogs on ebay they were something like $120 PER SIDE!!!! definitely expensive and i still don't have them. i need to though because i have an HID kit for fogs that has been sitting in my room for over a year and a half now.
