98-99 stock I30 headlights fit a 96 I30 correct?

If i buy 98-99 I30 stock headlights, they should fit the 1996 I30 right? There are no mods that need to be done in order for them to fit are there?

Thanks for your help.

Nope, it's a direct fit. But why would you want to do that, the headlights are unchanged. the taillights are different, the new ones look better if you ask me.

Actually the headlights on the 96-97 I30's are the "roughed up lenses" not crystal clear. the 98-99 lenses are clear. That's the main difference.

yes man ... those roughed up lenses look awkward ... if u can't get Cefiro's single piece as u have been trying, i'd suggest you to atleast get this 98 or 99 headlight ... my friend has 96 I30 and those lenses look sick, as well will not give much light even if u have blue light halogen lamps in them .. mine are xtal clear

Thanks tortuga1482. That's where I saw them as well and what prompted the question here. I may bid on them although it looks like I may have some competition. lol There have been quite a few bids so far I think. I wonder what the reserve is on those? hmmmm

Thanks again.

Not doubting that they ARE 1-piece, but those look different up close than they do on the far-away shots of your car. $245 shipped for OEM w/ harnesses and bulbs? THAT is a deal...

NO.. dude.. these are OEM CEFIRO TWO PIECE HEADLIGHTS...
They look almost exact as the OEM CEFIRO ONE PIECE.. but where as the corner are clear-er and shinier.. but is separate from the headlights.

I KNEW that those looked different. Very nice product!

2 questions- do you sell JUST the corner marker, and if so, does it fit flush wiht the OEM I30 headlights?

1. Yes, I do sell just the corner marker. Email me for more info.
Are you coming to NJ meet on 6/5? If so, you can try it on yourself

2. Yes, they do fit flush with the OEM I30 headlights.

Will the lines match up correctly with the USDM center? I thought the cefiro tails did not match correctly.

those definitely line up! I had a pair but I bought a 1999 center tail and got the 1998 cefiro tails....they do NOT match up, the cefiros are a brighter red and a slightly different shape....they are completely smooth whereas the OEM 1999 center tail light has ridges....
