hood, front bumper, both fenders, bumper foam, metal bar under foam, foglights, headlights, parking lights. As for brackets there is a plastic piece that bolts the upper part of the bumper up to the radiator, and the brackets that hold on the fenders are different. There is 2 instead of 1. I would check a local savlage and see if they have one with a complete front end, then you just do the swap. Otherwise you can get the brackets from gmpartsdirect.

When I did my conversion I didn't need the two brackets for the fenders; I have them but I couldn't figure out how to bolt them to the car??? The mounts that were there already worked fine however. The wiring for the headlights is different. If you need more info on that I can tell you what I did.

Well on the newer headlights theres 5 wires they should be seperated with 3 on one side and 2 on the other. One is the ground, the other two of the three are for your lights themselves and the last two are for the motors. What I did was connect the three with the other three matching up the ground and then I spliced the other two together to get the motors to work. The only problem though is that my high beams are actually my low beams and vice versa but I can overlook that.

I'm getting tired so I'll break it down best I can:
- Front bumper cover with foam support
- Metal support bracket that foglights bolt to (goes behind foam support)
- Plastic that bolts in front of radiator support that has the rubber front hood rests
- Both fenders with brackets but I didn't need them as long as you find another way to connect fenders to front bumper cover
- Headlights with motors but should be inbetween the lights already where as the 93-97 motors are easy to disconnect from the headlight assembly
- Hood
- Turn signals (clear) AND parking lights (amber colored)
- Taillights
- Plastic pieces that bolt underneath to bumper and connect to inner fenders (they are different than the 93-97)
- Front bumper cover with foam support
- Metal support bracket that foglights bolt to (goes behind foam support)
- Plastic that bolts in front of radiator support that has the rubber front hood rests
- Both fenders with brackets but I didn't need them as long as you find another way to connect fenders to front bumper cover
- Headlights with motors but should be inbetween the lights already where as the 93-97 motors are easy to disconnect from the headlight assembly
