I think it is because the wiring is different on the sport models, the sport models have dual bulbs for high/low beam, where the non-sport have a single bulb

But most the aftermarket headlights are dual bulb wired up to work with the single bulb harness, so you could probably make them work, you would just have to figure out how to wire them in, the size and shape is the same.

Up until 98, or 99..... the sport models had the single bulb headlights.

Oh ok, well the OP has a 97, so he can probably just ignore the w/o sport package warning then?

Yep. Shouldn't be an issue for the headlights anyway.

Post 6 and 10 go into the details. I have this thread saved since I have a 98 sport model. Might be useful to you as well.
