The lights will fit straight in with no change of bonnet, though the shut line is not perfect, it isn't really that noticable either. You can get an updated grill (from Revolution???) that looks like the new grill and fits against the old bonnet.

Here is what the new headlight/old bonnet join is like:

I think the newer headlights and old bonet look gash! sorry but the car will look unfinished and bodged.

I have a 93WRX which needed a full respray as it was red and the paint had faded beyond cutting and polishing. I have fitted 99 spec crystal headlights 99 grille 99 bonnet and 99 spec front bumper with crystal indicators and side lights.

Dont do things by half you'll regret it.

Wrighty, you may be right, but I didn't even notice the wrong headlight had been fitted until someone spotted it in a photo on here.

you can actually fit the new style headlights and grille and keep the old style bonnet.

I did this until I changed the bonnet.

when you pop the bonnet it comes up about an inch less than the new style one so you can't get your whole hand in to move the lever to open it.

you can slide a few fingers in though and move it

cheers
