Pre-facelift front bumper grill to Face-lifted versions

[vtec_man]

Hi,
I'm sure this question has been asked many times, I can't find a clear answer, has anyone successfully changed the pre-facelift front bumper and grill to the facelifted versions?

In addition is it also possible to update pre-facelight headlights to the facelifted version?

Any pointers on both questions would be much appreciated.

Bumper:
The pre-facelift and facelift grilles are different sizes so you need both the bumper and grille if you want to do the FL swap. As far as I understand it if you have both a bumper and grille it's a straight swap. Be careful of holes for washers and parking sensors as some cars have them, some don't.

Headlights:
The headlights are the same size so I believe you can swap between the halogen and "regular" xenon lights pre and post-FL. There is a bi xenon light, not sure it was an option in the UK, but that has different connections.
If you just want to get rid of the orange indicator you can actually open the lights and remove it - https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx...y-cleared-headlights-2g-lots-pictures-767424/
Personally I really hate the orange section so I've got some butyl tape in my box of parts ready to do this mod just haven't got around to it yet.
