I to am looking to get new headlights. I found the euro style light i like them but don't want to pay 200 bucks for them, so i just bought better lights to replace OEM

Now i'm looking to get some grill lights and LED interior lights does any one know where to get them?

And has any one installed neon lights? i was wondering if there is any way to install them with out plugging it into the lighter thing ( can't think of what it's called)

jonny b, just a heads up, I'm in the process of converting my headlights over from a '97 to a '98 or newer and here's what I found out. The newer model head lights have a different mounting system which utilizes a plastic clip(?) that slides over two mounting tabs on the backside of the headlamp bracket. The tabs go thru slots in the radiator support with which the palstic (?) slide down to hold the headlamp bracket in place. Long story short, to convert over to the newer lamps, you need to change the radiator support and grill. The pic-a-part where I live, them grills are like gold. Everyone wants one!!! They are the first thing that goes out the gate. And sadly, the turn signal lens are mounted on the grill. The wiring for the headlights can be reused but it is a TIGHT fit. So if you get the headlamps, make sure you get the pigtails long enuff to add on. Hope this helps you to keep in mind while you're down at your pic-a-part.
