Cars up to 96 are preface lift. 97 and after are facelift.

You will need preface lift headlights. The lights you have been offered have been advertised wrong, they will be facelift.

Just to clarify, girlscoobydriver has asked about buying my angel eyes but they are usually advertised as fitting '94-'00 cars which they will... However, what people on ebay selling them new don't mention is that they are obviously the facelift lights. Not a prob for me as mine has the facelift front end but girlscoobydriver's is pre facelift so I don't think the grill will fit.

Will a facelift grill fit with the early bonnet to save her getting another bonnet? Trying to help her out even if it means not selling them

the non facelift grill will fit but there will be slight gaps between the head lights and were the grill meets. if you use a face lift grill on non face lift bonnet. the bonnet will not close or open properly. this is from previous experience when i fitted facelift lights on my old wrx.

Cheers

They will not fit right and will look very odd. I don't think they even make those lights for your year of car.
You have two options -

Fit a facelift front end, it can be done fairly cheaply now and will transform the front of your car. The angel eyes will then fit correctly.
Other option is to forget about angel eyes all together, they look cheap and tacky anyway.

I was going to put up a pic of mine but atm poxybucket isn't working

I was going to go the angle eye way but then found out that black crystals look sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better against silver. What colour is your car?

My car has a facelift bumper, facelift lights, facelift grille but a pre-facelift bonnet.
The pic I wanted to add was before I bought my facelift grille so you could see what sort of gap there was

If I can get one up soon, I will for you to have a nose at

And if you take a look at this link: https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...hop-gurus.html It shows you a thread I asked about photoshopping the angel eye lights to my car and a pic of my car when I first bought it with standard facelift lights

I've got a mint set of black crystals like the ones above here for sale.
£100 or near offer, and I'm only 5 mins from you. I'd even fit them....

No worries, would take £90 but not too fussed if they stay in the garage. Just thought I'd offer as they look so much nicer than those eBay angels.
Let me know if you change your mind.

Matt.
