im going to swap my current 03 front end to a 2000 style, and was wondering how much i have to swap over? like i know i need to do the hood, head lights, bumper, and crush guard. but what else do i need to to swap over? any wiring, the fenders, etc? any insight would be greatly appericated

oops, i realized that i put this in the wrong forum, could someone move this to exterior forum for me please?

Hood, fenders and lights is all you need to swap I think
hood, bumper, lights, crushgaurd sounds right
crush guard too? hmm didnt see that one
headlight wiring harness is under your battery tray, unplug it and swap it between the 2 cars

What you need if you are swapping to..
00-02 Cavalier
- 00-02 Cavalier Headlights(with plastic mount, its what bolts down the headlight)
- 00-02 Corner Lights
- 00-02 Front Bumper(or you can modify a 95-99 to work, trimming on the headlight area is what needs to be done)
- 00-02 Fenders(95-99 can be used IF and only you cut off the bracket that holds the 95-99 turn signals on)
- 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 95-02 Sunfire, or 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, this is not necessary some have said.. but I wouldn't want to risk the corner light falling out, but its ur choice(Click for Picture)
There is a How To sticky on swapping front ends on the top of the exterior forum.. so always remember.. search before u post. it could help u out quicker.

Dont both the 00-02 lights and the 03+ lights both use 9007 bulbs?? If so you wouldnt need to change the wiring.
