cargo vs passenger van grill and headlights question

[kengarchow]

i have noticed that 95 up cargo vans tend to have the single sealed beam headlights and the passenger vans have more of a composite headlight. i like the looks of the composite headlights better and wondered if they can be put on a cargo van
thanks

yes they can, but you need to purchase the entire grill assembly not just the lights. should be a direct bolt on swap however.

I just did this swap and it is a direct bolt on, you will need the composite lights with non functional small clear lenses on the sides, black plastic frames the lights are attached to, and bolts that attach the plastic frames to the vehicle, you will also need composite style harness ends with plugs which are easily snipped from a junkyard donor, since the composite uses 4 wires and your current harness has only 3 and a different plug, you will need to run an extra ground wire to chassis/frame And thats about it, turn signals are same, if plan to use GMC style compsite grill you will need more parts, with are the small metal trim pieces under the turn signals, color matched to your vehicle, and GMC turn signal lenses since the Chevy ones won't fit without some trimming
