Good question cause I was wondering the same thing the other day.Be careful about who sprays it cause the my99 bumper doesnt seem to like non factory paint being stuck to it,specially around those orange intakes under the indicators.This is often the first place where the paint begins to come off first.The new clear fog lamps are only 40 or 50 notes each anyhow and look a lot better than the 97 ones I think.

Yes, it can be done with no problems, the bumpers are a straight swap, the fog lamps / PIAA's were all interchangable between bumpers anyway.
The headlamps are also a straight swap over and use the same mounting points.

The lights for the MY99-00 are a straight swap with the MY97-98 ones. They do not replace models from MY93-96.
