Default Need some help!

I currently have a 94 Camaro and I'm going to be making it look like a 98-02 body style Camaro. I was wondering how I would convert the lights over so the 98-02 Headlights would be able to work on my car. Do I just cut the wires then reconnect them to the new lights? And if so, How/where do I connect each wire to.

Also, I think I'm just about ready to start ordering the parts..
Heres my parts list..

98-02 Camaro drivers side fender
98-02 Camaro passengers side fender
98-02 Camaro SS hood
93-02 Camaro drivers side splash guard
98-02 Headlight mounts
93-97 Camaro SS spoiler
02 Z06 rims (right off the vette)
93-97 Camaro Eibach 1in lowering springs
98-02 Camaro factory headlights
67-69 Chrome Camaro emblems (3)
Chrome chevy bow-tie
98-02 Camaro SS hood grill
98-02 Camaro billet bumper grill
Sylvania headlight bulb (2)
98-02 Camaro front bumper lights

How does that parts list look? Am I missing anything for the 98-02 Front end conversion?

I've never really taken the front bumper/fenders/splash guard/spoiler off.. So if theres a link to an area on here or if someone could tell me where all the skrews are, It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks..

If anyone wants pics of the conversion, let me know and I'll either send them to you or post them here.

I think there is a sticky on here for this. Possibly in the appearance section, but I'm not sure. Do you plan on ordering all of those parts separately? Doing a conversion is pretty easy. You should just buy a front clip from a junk yard or from someone on here who has recently wrecked.

I'm ordering from 3 different sites..

Its going to be about $1350 for the parts, not counting the Z06 rims because the guy who I might buy them off is still thinking of a price.

I'm looking to buy the fenders and possibly the front bumper from a junk yard, but no junk yards within 100 miles have any of those parts.

parts list looks good but I would set aside a decent amount of money and plan to spend it b/c whenever you do stuff like this its the small things that nickel and dime you to death
