Default 95 ls400 parts on a 93 ls400

What going on guys I have a couple questions to ask.

1.Would the 95 ls400 headlights fit a 93 ls?
2.Whats the difference between the two models besides the lights?
3.Can I swap parts from the 95 to the 93 with little mods being down like doors,fenders,bumpers front and back?


more to come but cant remember right now.

Parts can be swapped on some things.. They did a major overhaul on the car from 94 to 95. But there are still *some* of the same things in them. Overall alot is different though. So it is in your best interest to find parts from a Second Gen.

With that said,.. many parts can be exchanged that won't fit -- if you are good at fabrication and alteration you can *make* them fit.


The headlights are an obvious no.

none of the exterior panels will interchange.

or grill
or trim
or much else aside from small stuff.
