Default AP2 to Ap1 headlight swap

I am trading my AP1 headlights with another person what has AP2 lights. I know there's a thread that talks about swithcing headlights (but not the ballast). I don't want to drill, dremel, or cut wires so does anyone know if it's possible to replace the whole headlight system (lights, ballast, and bulb) between the two cars? ANY help is much appreciated...thanks!

I just swapped out my AP1 headlights with AP2.

Easy, simple swap, no modification needed.

I followed Ricks instructions for bumper removal, and thats it.

20 minute job

not fair though as you had the entire system including lights, ballast, and bulb

when putting the old ap1 ballast and bulb onto the newer ap2 headlights this is much harder...the older ballasts are larger
