Reverse question.....I am looking at a 2003 I35 that was hit in the nose lightly.

Both headlights are smashed and I dont want to spend $700 each on HIDs

Will 2000-2001 non HIDs fit the 2003 front end?

They will bolt in but the wiring is different. Read the link I used in post # 2. You will have to do the reverse.
