B5 question

Since B5 models are 96-01, and I have a 98, will most parts fit from a 2001. I was interested in buying the newer style tail lights and headlights from an 01?

They should fit, but since 99.5 on up had one piece headlights you're going to have to do some trimming to the panel to get them to fit.

There are many differences between 96-99 and 00-01. A lot of stuff is interchangeable, but a lot isn't.

The tails are really easy to do though. Just switch a couple wires and you'll be good to go. There is a DIY if you want a little more info on the tails.
