For one thing, the outer curve on the 02-03 goes down, rather than up. I don't know, maybe you can flip it over :dunno:

i dont know man... i've got the Dolphin bumper which those fogs fit perfectly in to, and I have the 02 bumper on my car and Ill have to take a look at it again tomorrow when i get my car back, but im pretty sure the opening on the 02 is MUCH bigger than those fogs.

I'm sure you can make them fit, it wasn't hard getting the old style fogs into the 8Ga bumper. You'll probably have to flip these upside down, and you'll have to make custom brackets for sure, and a good deal of trimming to get it to sit right. Also, I don't know if the new styles are projectors or not, but you'll have to get them to sit just right so the beam is pointed in the proper direction. Just my 2 cents.

if those get flipped upside down then the fogs will be on the outside rather the inside which will beat the purpose of having them

What do you mean, on the outside? If you flip them upside down, then switch the sides, the fogs would still be on the inside. I was saying, if you take the drivers side fog, flip it upside down, then put it in the passengers side fog opening.

That's not necessarily bad, it just means fabbing up some custom brackets and maybe some extra trim around the edges of the lights to fill the gaps, at least we know they'll fit inside. I'd try it if I had the 8Gb front bumper.
