Hey guys,

A deal I was working on with a dealership to buy a 2k3 max fell through (Read the punks sold it the night before my test drive) and he told me that they had a 2000 in stock for a damn good price with even better mileage. well i asked if they had the 2k2-2k3 style lights in stock he said let me check, and he came back and told me that they had them but they wouldnt install them because it required some modification (all of which i knew, but i figured, if i can get this car for this price i might as well buy the lights there as well) but that got me to thinking, how much modification is needed to fit the lights? alot, a little? is it the housing that needs modifcation etc etc?

thanks for your help

You just have to do some rewiring. No major mod necessary.

Thanks alot Ammi, I'm gonna keep looking for a 2k2 or 2k3 but if worse comes to worse I'll buy the 2000 and install the 2k2-k3 headlights, and if i do that it allows me to put DDEs on and be able to drive my car while making the mods to the headlights, so win/win

once again thanks for the help
