I have a front b7mper from a turbo and am wondering if I can exchange the "fried egg " Front headlights without changing the fenders.

From what I've read you'd need to change the fenders to MK2 ones.

Suggestion

So with a set of MKII lights and updated front bumper, a '98-'99 can use a MKII/turbo type bumper cover?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a front b7mper from a turbo and am wondering if I can exchange the "fried egg " Front headlights without changing the fenders. Any help is appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I believe the oem turbo bumper is for the mkII headlights

POST 3Original post

The wings (or fenders) appear to be the same part number from 1999-2005 according to Pelican so they should not require changing.

POST 5Original post

If you need parts help with this transition just shoot me a PM.

POST 6Original post

It can be done, but you'll need to get Mk2 light enclosures. Side skirts also have complete the look. Here's mine:

POST 7Original post

Just to make it clear to me- The MKII lights are plug n' play into a MKI vehicle? So with a set of MKII lights and updated front bumper, a '98-'99 can use a MKII/turbo type bumper cover? With no other parts/cutting/splicing/molding?

POST 8Original post

From what I've read you'd need to change the fenders to MK2 ones. The headlight shape is different. Not sure about the wiring though.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
