How complicated is to to convert my Gen 1.5 Solara into a Gen 1 Solara? I mean, can I just buy the Gen 1 Front Bumper, Gen 1 Headlamps, Gen 1 Fog Lamps & Gen 1 Left & Right Fenders and then get it painted and bolt it right onto the car?

I kinda dig the front end of the 1.5 and the rear lights of the 1. But that's just me.

I would figure it would be somewhat easy bolt on. The bumper, lights, side lights, and fenders had tiny changes.

The wiring might be different for the lights and fog lights?

Pesonally Id rather have a gen 1.5 front, but that's just me, but not worth the money in my opinion so I'm just sticking with what I got.

Yeah I like the 1.5 front end myself, mainly the fog lights. I like the Gen 1 grill better. Its all good though.

So that's it. Just replace the Gen 1.5 parts with Gen 1 Parts and everything is a direct bolt on?

You'd also need a wiring harness to convert to a H4 dual-filament bulb
