3rd Generation switching grills

Hey I just recently added to my Camry collection a 95 1MZ, but my 93 is the car that has my group buy clear headlights on it. I remember reading that you could swap grills, but when I went to look at it, I realized the 95 has a lip on the bumper, and the grill is about an inch smaller then the 93 which doesn't have the lip on the bumper. So exactly how do I go about switching these out to put my headlights on the new car?

Use 95 grille and 93 clear headlight with a lil modification on the triangle part... you know what i'm talking about. 95 grille look sexier.

But if I leave the 95 grill on, and put on the clear headlights, I'll be left with a large gap, as well on my 93 I won't be able to put the OEM lights on there at all.

Well, as yet I have been unable to get ahold of him, so maybe if anyone else has an idea on how to do this?

You have two cars and want to switch only the headlight and grille and no change to the bumper. So when you put 95 grille one 93 bumper it will leave a gap since 95 grille's heigh is smaller. And when you put 93 grille on 95 bumper you will have to cut that bumper to make it fit.

My suggestion: For your 95: use 93 clear headligh + 95 grille and fill the big hole (maybe you can use plastic and then chrome it), so you wouldn't hurt to bumper and still have agressive gen3.5 headlight and clear.
For 93: put 95 headlight, buy some 93 grille and cut it to the shape of headlight. And it will be great.
