Are you on about the front or rear lights?
I'm not sure about the front. But what you will have to remember is the 04 back lights have the fog light integrated with them. Not so pre 04 (in the back bumper). So I guess it could be done but a bit of re-wiring will need to take place.
As for the front ones, I'm sure there is a thread somewhere where someone in the U.S has already done the job.

Yes I think it is, but WHY??



I like the 04 lights, except for the fact it only has 1 reverse light and the fog in the o/s one I like symettry and I like the fog in the "F1" position - wouldnt it be cool if this was a flashing brake light too

We were discussing the same two issues at the duckfest last weekend when looking at the green monster

Front lights look good apart from the fact that they have orange surrounds on the indicators WHY WHY.

So imagine orange and green together

Great minds think alike.

A new wiring loom needed is what I am advised. Given the cost it is not viable.

Please prove that my advice is faulted and I will try to make it happen.

IMHO, the 99-01 subtle, classic, functional look is what the classic car collectors wil be looking for in 2025.
