03 to 99 front
Wednesday, May 24, 2006 7:31 PM
well i just recently bought a used car 4 dirt cheap and have 2 replace my old 99 front end onto the 03 i just bought.... for some reason though the hood will not shut all the way and all i see in the way is the 1st air box and 2nd airbox... has anyone else had this problem b4? and also do the 99 jdm tail lights have the same connections as the 03 usdm?other questions is the 03 fenders the same as the 2000 or 95-99 body.... and sorry but one more..... rear quarter slightly damaged ..... supposedly the 99-05 rear quarter panels are the same but wouldnt that really mean the 95-05 rear quarter panels are the same (2 door)... hmmmm oh and last one anyone know where i can find a oil pan for the 2.2 ecotec... previous owner was a ricer and a dumbass

the toyota tail lights will not work with that little bulb you have, its always on when you have your lights on, it isnt a seperate blinking bulb(the bulb that is the blinking bulb is a 3157 on the toyo tails). rewiring is necessary on every taillight from 95-05 cav when putting on the toyota tails. your other questions i dont really know, sorry

i beleive you need the 03 hood latch and stuff also if u havent swapped that out already. Also make sure the latch is adjusted correctly..
and also do the 99 jdm tail lights have the same connections as the 03 usdm?
the jdm tails use 2 3157 bulbs, one for turnsignal one for brakes. Our use just 1 3157 for turnsignals and brakes and some cavs have a small 194 bulb also which i beleive come on when u turn on ur headlights. their not needed tho. like said by Homunculus[6(sic)6] every 95-05 cavalier or 4dr sunfire need to rewire for them to work like they are supposed to.
other questions is the 03 fenders the same as the 2000 or 95-99 body
00-02 fenders are the same as 03-05.... the 95-99 have a bracket spot welded on them that the turnsignals bolt to. but if if have a 95-99 and are going to a 00-05 u can simply cut othat bracket out so the 03 headlights can go in all the way
and sorry but one more..... rear quarter slightly damaged ..... supposedly the 99-05 rear quarter panels are the same but wouldnt that really mean the 95-05 rear quarter panels are the same (2 door)...
yes, 95-05 2dr cav 1/4 panels are the same..
hmmmm oh and last one anyone know where i can find a oil pan for the 2.2 ecotec... previous owner was a ricer and a dumbass
junkyard or dealership

thanks 4 answering the questions guys. I thought it was a lil weird about the rear quarter panel.... and i was told by chevy themselves that the 99-05 can only be swapped hmm well the 99 body goes back 2 95 so hmmm weird lol.

03-05 eco has a taller stock tb than a 02 eco

the hood latch stuff sits higher up than the 95-02 , and the latch catch on the hoods are different


toyota tail you have to follow the instructions for them the 03-05 are the same as the 95-02 , the extra bulb in the outters is part of the socket and only a running bulb
