My HIDs got robbed last nite out of my '03 GLE. I would like to put the AE 01 lites in but a bodyshop guy told me in order to do it right I have to go with the 01 bumper as well.

Is this true? And if not does anyone have a body guy in Northern Jersey that knows how to do the job right?

If I must go with an 91 bumper, what are the pros and cons of doing that?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

i have heard time and time again that the dealerships say one thing and them someone from the org will go and install the headlights. Look for a how to some where. Many people have installed the 02 headlights on 01's i dont see why it cant be reversed

You DO NOT have to install a different bumper to put AE headlights on an 02 or 03 Max... however, you DO have to rewire a little bit for the headlights...

He's right, just call this bodyhop, they did mine, they do great work in matching paint and all else you need, it's called Motor City. I have seen them on ast Fords magazine for a sick paintjob they did on a Mustang a while back.

Th number is 973 3440102.

They are located in Newark, they have done many 2k2 to 2k1 headlight conversions so it's not a new territory for them, I wa one of the first ones and it came out beautiful. I will have pics soon.

I live in houston and havenot really heard of anybody getting theres stolen down here. i dont understand why it is such a big problem up there. do they want the ballasts or the headlamp or what?

Ballasts and bulbs bro.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond and help out. GuZo, I called Moter City and they seem to really have a handle on the problem. Thanks so much for the heads up!
