Since it was the first set I ever did, total time it took about 2 weeks. Ive done sets for other people since then, and turn around time is about a week once I get all the supplies.

Well you did a great job! Turns out I wont need money to get mine running right, just timing. So next pay I may get some lights!

Yeah, mine is a 99. I see all kinds of stuff for them. I will be getting new headlights, and turn signal lenses too eventually. My grille is cracked as well so that's on the list, but I like the factory tail lights less than the cracked grille so I'll be changing them first. I don't see many after market head lights for the pre 98 I believe? With the square lights.

If you have the 4x6 sealed you can find all sorts of different ones, or build to custom specs. Or if you have the composite style (with 2 bulbs and maker and headlight are same housing) then your only real option is the "Euro Clear" lenses. From there, you can do a retrofit like me xD
