I have a 1996 Dodge avenger and wish to do the conversion over to 97+ headlights I was wondering if it is possible and how to go about it. Thanks in advance for any help

 

buy 97+ headlights and a 97+ front bumper and put them on your car.

 

You'll also need 97+ turnsignals , and foglights if so equipped...
It's an unbolt/unplug/ rebolt replug in ...

 

Thanks guys wasn't sure if I had to buy the 97+ bumper or not but I guess I'll just wait until I get my body kit then do it. Will be easier that was won't have an extra bumper cover to have sitting around

 

Not trying to dig up an old and obsolete thread but I'm new here. I just picked up a '95 Avenger from a bodyshop (customer lost intrest or cash?) for a reasonable $350! It seems that the owner decided to save some money and strip the car for paint but broke the tabs on both headlamps and 1of 2 fog lights! These lights are getting hard to find! I see that your changing the bumper cover, fogs and turn signals to do a swap but is there that much of a differance? It loks to me (by part numbers) the aftermarket bumper covers and fenders all use the same parts regaurdless of what year? Isn't the only differance that the 95-96 ones have those silly horizontal lines on them and the 97-00 have the claer lenses? If this is true wouldn't you just change in pairs to whichever you like the most?

Am I wrong or right?

 

wrong front bumper covers are different the 97+ are pointier at the bottom , the headlights are a different shape they jut out 1/2" further in the middle
Also the fogs are different shaped as are the turns

 

Then if I I buy a body kit what Headlights Would I use? they use the same part numbers for all years 95 to 2000?

 

I see different numbers for 95/96 and the 97+ most body kits are 97+

 

You see different #'s for what? The lights or the body kits? Extreme Dimensions only lists one part # for a front bumper per style? If I want to through on the Viper style facia on my 95 there # is ED1401. I do see a different # for the rear lip which i assume is the rear facia for 95-96 and 97 up, not sure what the difference is there?

 

HEADLIGHTS have different numbers as mentioned most kits are 97+ there are several that are year specific
