front end swap question?
Wednesday, January 03, 2007 5:41 PM
I want to swap a 00-02 front end on my third gen cavy

these are the supplies i think i need:

- 00-02 Cavalier Headlights(with plastic mount)
- 00-02 Corner Lights
- 00-02 Front Bumper
- 00-02 Fenders
- 2 x 9007 High/Low Beam Bulbs
- 2 x 3157 Turn signal Bulbs(any 3rd Gen has these for turn signals so not necessary unless you need new bulbs, you can use what came with your car)
- From the donor car's wiring harness, or two 9007 headlight sockets(unless you have a 03-05 Cavalier, these already use this bulb for headlights)
- Corner Bracket, this holds your 00-02 Corner Lights by one of the prongs on the back of the light



Is there anything else i'll need to swap the front end?

since u are going from a 03-05.. u will also need the hood and latch that bolts to the hood.

you will not need new fenders or the wiring.. u already have 9007 headlight lambp wiring so thats done.. you just need the headlights, corners, corner brackets, hood, hood latch, and bumper.

btw, congrats on actually finding the sticky and reading it.
