3rd Generation Gen 3.5 to Gen 3 Headlight Conversion Guide?

This afternoon I put in some Depo bumper lights and they are amaaazing. After seeing how great they look, there is no way I can put off doing the conversion so I can use the Depo headlights & corner lenses. I've been looking around and I can't seem to find out, but, does anyone know of any type of a guide on what all it takes to make it work? I know you have to get the older grill, it's the part with the lip on the bumper that I don't completely understand. Anyways, if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very thankful.

in order to fully convert from 3.5 to 3, u have to cut that part of the bumper that is under the 3.5 grille, otherwise the gen 3 grille will not fit. or if u are really hardcore u could completely swap out the bumper.

another option u have is to not put a grille at all. it'll look weird at first, but it doesnt look too bad.

ive had it for a bit until i decided to go back to 3.5 for a cleaner look.

if you have basic motor skills you should be able to pull it off I cut mine with a set of side cutters, its extremely easy to cut through and figure out, and I dont know much about working on cars- trust me!
