Yep, the projectors have the same cutoff as all the otheres, right down to the little squiggle for seeing a little farther in your lane, lol.

Overall, compared to the stock lights, I like these very much! A definite improvement! The lowbeam has much more of a side view than the stockers... Highbeam is still pretty close to the same, though, so the quad beam is definitely a must, lol.

Those MTEC's are pretty damned sweet, from the looks of things! I think I'll have to hunt me down a set, lol

yea i could careless about highbeams i can always toss a set of KC on the roof if i need that type of lighting. I need all the lighting if i can in my low range. but yea thanks guys for your help ill start grabing peices for the swap. i think im gonna get the non ricest clear headlight package of ebay that come with projectors for the 99+. Then it just getting a new bumper, core support, grill and things like clips and i think i need a turnsignal pigtail if im not mistaken.

Is there anything else with the bumper im missing?

You don't need the core support... IMO, it's more work than it's worth. You can just bolt the headlights and grille to the existing support. With a bit of mechanical ability and some ingenuity, you'll save yourself the hassle of replacing the core support.

You need to cut off the tabs on the back of the new headlight mounts, and then just line them up and drill through both the bracket and the core. Make sure to remove your battery before doing this, or you WILL drill through it. Ask me how i know, lol.

It's pretty simple. To be quite honest, i could do the swap again in under an hour.

The first time took me 2.5 hrs in 20ยบ weather and not knowing what i was going to do.
