97 galant es converting to jdm headlights

[dsm galant]

so i got a 97 es. i ordered some jdm headlights from ebay but was wondering do i have to use the 94-96 galant grill and metal bar over the grill? i really want to get one of those jdm de bumpers with fog lights but havent founds one yet, so if you find one let me know.

You can rock the stock bumper, header panel, and grills. I had the 2pc JDM headlights on a stock 97/98 front. Just be sure to grind down the tops of the bumper mounts or else the headlights will rub on them and crack like mine.

yeah when u have the bumper off u gotta grind that down, headlights will never really get in without cracking unless u do that.....just grind at an angle above teh top bolt, that way u will still have 4 bolts holding ur crashbar...have fun, and good luck, its a pretty easy install

good look on the info. but if i do find that de bumper, do i use the grill and header panel form a 94-96?

diamond edition uses bigger grills for the bumper but you will need a 94-96 t-bar

Yah the JDM grills are bigger. You can still use the USDM grills, but they dont fill the entire whole and look kind of dumb, thats what I have on mine right now. For the JDM DE bumper, you can use the USDM 94-96 t-bar.

Are you the same guy I was talking to on DSM Tuners? :)

Hi,

We have these parts here in Manila, Philippines:

JDM headlights- plastic with focus on the right side for RHD. It costs around USD$ 200 for both.

JDM tail lights- shouldnt' go beyond USD$ 200

JDM bumpers with grill- around USD$ 450

All are surplus but in good condition.
