I would go ahead and upgrade the motors for the headlights while you have it apart.

Other parts maybe: wiring harness (if different), shimes to line things up (if needed)

Just take your time so you onlyl have to do this once.... GOOD LUCK!!!!

i think you may need diff. brackets that attach from the body to the where the fender and bumper meet, but i am not sure. Hopefully someone that has done it will post up. I know you have to wire the headlights b/c they are different on the 98-02s

doing the same thing at this very moment in Barcelona !
you need a few brackets more at least that is what i am told ....the L-shaped (fender to bumper union)one and the one near headlights which unites fender/bumper to the car.Further you will need a plastic large bracket to attach the upperpart of the bumpercover to the car
At this stage I only have the clip off so i can not asure it!!!!!Have an awsome diagram from GM will post it to your mail as I have no clue of doing it here!!!!
