i am in the process of doing a 99-00 conversion and have noticed another difference in the headlights (besides the ones that were metioned in the sticky). on the top of the headlight (you have to raise the hood to see this), there is a bubble level inside the 96-98 headlights to aid in aiming them (i assume- have no idea what else it would be for). the 99-00 headlights do not have this level, however all of the other adjustment areas appear to be the same. in fact, the entire back gray plastic piece looks to be identical. the only change between the lights are the front clear plastic piece, and the inside of course. just thought i would mention this, fyi. anyone know why honda got rid of the level? i think it is pretty cool, although it didn't help me aim mine that much. maybe thats why they left it off, extra cost and less use. who knows...

I saw that im mine today when I was doing one of my DIY projects. Have you even seen them put like 3 special screws in the top of the lights? it was factory I know but looked odd.

haven't seen the screws you are talking about. were they on the 96-98 lights or the 99-00, or both? maybe if you can, throw up some picks of them. i know this is kind of pointless, but i thought i would post on it *shrug*

Well I would but I didnt put them back in, It was only the drivers side headlight. Seemed kinda odd maybe it wasnt a oem headlight or something have to look in the morning.
