Question Want to replace my 1998 style fog lights with the 1999 Clear Lense type

Okay, I have googled and googled and googled some more.
Here is my question, I know that in 99-01 the non-sport models had clear lenses, but the brackets look different than what is on my 98. So, has anyone put the light housing from the 99-01 bracket to their 98 or older brackets?

I have a small crack in my lense and it drastically shortens the bulb life and they are pathetic when it comes to actually lighting up the road. I am hoping i can find OEM style clear replacements. I don't want the halo projection or any colored lenses, just the OEM looking clears.

I found that Pilot makes a OEM replacement, but the sites that have the item seem shady, so i don't think i could return them if they didnt fit right.

According to what I've read and seen, 99-01 headlights fit into 94-98 location. When you buy headlamps, just get the whole bracket/sidemarker/headlamp combo.

What about these? They come as once piece, there aren't three separate pieces like the stock.

Oh, wait, you are talking about headlights, I am talking about foglights.

These are my stock fog lights, they have the difused lense type, and the other image is of the clear lense type of the 99 and newer.

Whoops, my bad.

But still, I think the fogs have the same bracket. I know eBay has them, with and without the brackets.

They are the same. I found some REAL OEM Mopar fog lights for about the same as LMC!:https://www.dodgeparts.com/oe_parts_...bcb2572227a4e7
