So i just got around to installing the headlights i bought for the b5 i picked up a couple of weeks ago, and when i went to put the corner lights in i realized they dont fit into the fender properly so im guess i ones for the facelifted b5? If so how hard would it be to get these to work if anybody could speak from experience or should i just look into trading them for ones that are for the pre-facelift?

 

If they're a two-piece setup they're made for your car. If you bought one-piece lights you need to trim the fenders.

 

The trimming is pretty minimal, might as well do it now that you already have the headlights. The one-piece housings definitely update the front of the car. Looks much better IMO, especially if your old headlight lenses are oxidized.
