I was thinking bout getting them but I don't know if they'll fit on my 96. They look more like 97-99 headlights/corners so I don't know.

All headlights are the same and interchangeable between 95-99.

Aren't the 97-99 headlights/corners differently shaped than the 95/96's?

No. You're probably getting confused with the tailights.

I have this headlight and corner set up on my car right now. I personally like them better than a 1 piece headlight but to each his own. The output on them is pretty close to stock.

Did any 4th gen come with extra lights that turn on when you use your turn signals, like the 3rd gen SE's and Cadillacs?

the only thing about these is that you cant aim them very well, i had these until my accident 3 weeks ago and i was annoyed with the beam pattern. im getting the one pice cefiro'e next time around.

Gimme a break... Not at all what he was asking....

Bottom line is the light output is the same.
