I searched and only found lse bumper answers but I was wondering if the 2nd gen regular front bumper will fit on a gen1 ls? Im about to buy a gen1 v6 sport and i want to get rid of the amber corners...ill probably eventually switch the headlights to gen2 also.
gen 2 front bumper

I believe todo that you'd have to switch headlights at the same time.
I remember wanting to swap headlights, and getting told that I would need the gen 2 bumper, and something else, its been forever though.
I think its possible but you'll have a good sized gap from the headlights and bumper

yes I want to do HID headlights so they should fit right in if i change both onto a gen1?
Sorry, meant to say gen2 headlights will fit gen1.
To make the gen2 headlights fit your gen1, you will need the gen2 header panel, or you could do it without it. I dont know how, but alexbougie mounted some without a gen2 header panel, I think. The gen2 headlights will get rid of that slight gap you'll have with gen2 bumper with gen1 headlights.

You would have to modify the header panel on the gen 1 to make them fit.
i wonder if the body shop could just take out the corners and fill that in but i doubt it. if they could i would change my headlights to some of these. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-2001-2002-LINCOLN-LS-BLK-HEADLIGHT-W-CLEAR-CORNER_W0QQitemZ220567634035QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item335adb0073

A good body shop can do that. I've actually seen that done before. It just depends on their experience and what they can do. Trust me it can be done.
yeah im going to do that...this ls that im about to buy i plan on keeping til it dies. lol so im ready to mod it. Filling them in and with those headlights will set it off i think... lowered on some eibachs with some vulcan wheels....and an lse grille of course....im ready to just start the modding process...
Yup, new clean headlights cleans up the front a lot. The hids I bought were pratically new and it cleaned up mine so much. My friend thought I did other mods to it cause it looked so clean.
VULCAN WHEELS!!!!!!! You bastrad!!! Those are sexy sexy wheels. Some day......
So you sold your 04 right? What are you looking into now?
