He said he wants the 97-98 front, which means Talon. The only 2g headlights that are different are the 97-99 Eclipse.

Why does that necessarily mean Talon? Could just as easily mean Eclipse, in which case he would need the different head lights.

Yes you just need the headlights. Try selling your projectors on the classifieds section on here.

You can actually use the 95/96 lights on a 97+ bumper...
You just have to force the lights to sit behind the bumper a bit. There is a thread with a picture of this on here some where.
