2000 Maxima body question WEIrd

Ok OK.... I have a 2000 Maxima that just got in an accident.

I want to know if its possible (because its what i want to do)

to put an 02-03 front bumper with the projector angel eye headlights you see on ebay

Will the 02-03 bumper be a direct replacement? If not what kind of modifcations would i be looking at. (any write ups would be great)

and would the projector angel eye headlights (you see on ebay) fit nice with the 02-03 bumpers or would there be a gap?

I need to know because I have to make decisions quick

Any pictures or responses are welcome thanks!

I dont know about the bumper, but the projector headlights are crap (according to some people who installed them).

Well take it and install it without asking... the are telling you what everybody says about the projectors. I will stay away from doing the change.... you will need to change almost everything....

thanks for your response, what do you mean by almost everything?

Do you mean like the screws, clips, plastics?

Because all you need really for body parts is the headlights grill and bumper.

Im not going to spend $1000+ on HID's and get them stolen or broken a few days later.

In short, it was discussed that the projector headlights are for 2k/2k1 models, and you will have a gap and wiring harness conflicts with a 2k2 model front.
And once again, you may or you may not like the projectors visually, but the beam pattern sucks compared to OEM lights.
