BBS, are you putting these in your pre-face lift? Don't you also need new (or heavily modified) fenders, bumper, and possibly a new hood to make it work?

Ohhh.. didn't even know that... lol. Will have to check it. good luck with the facelift!!!

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I'm sure the lighting control module is different, but the main difference would be the module sending the wrong signal for high beams. I'd definitely see if you could find some info on adapter harnesses. It may even bee on a different kind of buss communication system...? The easy way to see the differences wiring wise is to play around in the "online WDS" link up top for the wiring schematics.
