Iceman2989 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I found some sweet headlights that fit 00-04 pathys but seeing as how I own a 97... I want to know if they are interchangeable. They are still R50s, so I am guessing it'll be alright, but I wanted to double check. Are the sizes different? Will these later R50 headlights fit my early R50? Thanks for your help!

Zibi Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'd guess no but I'm not sure. They restyled the front clip and there are material differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom01Pathfinder Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) I believe you would have to change out the whole front clip also. When i look at the front of earlier R50's and later R50's i notice slight differences between them.

dududuckling Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think you might have to modify the front fender where it meet the headlight and the front grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The front clip change was made on the 99.5 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2989 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hey thanks for the fast responses! What do you mean by the "front clip"? Can someone please put up a picture pointing that out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The front clip indicates the body section in front of the doors (fenders, bumper, and grill). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igetstabby Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The front clip indicates the body section in front of the doors (fenders, bumper, and grill). Pretty sure you would have to replace the hood as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman2989 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Really? Blast... thats definitely NOT worth doing just for some headlights.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180sx Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 And the radiator core support as the head lights mount differently. Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxanne97 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 it would never work unless you wanted to spend few Gs on a hole new front end cause the fenders and hood and grill are all differnt from the older r50s even though they look really simular they really arnt.
