2G 95/96 fender with 97/99 headlights

So I put new headlights on and discovered that I may have the wrong fender on my passenger side. Either that or its a poor quality replacement.

Interestingly enough, when I bought the car it came with 95/96 style headlights installed. The bumper fit a bit funny because of this, and as such I never noticed the fenders being different.

Now I have the correct lights for my 97, but the passenger side gap is ridiculously large.

I read another thread where the consensus was that all 2g fenders are the same. I'm thinking otherwise.

Thoughts?

It has to be something with your fender. I did the 2gb conversion on my 96 and there is no gap there.

Yup same here 2gb conversion on my 95 and no issues. Are you sure the fender isn't bent.

Fender definitely isn't bent. Measured the shit out of it every way I could, it is indeed different. If you guys say you swapped from 95/96 lights to 97/99 lights without changing fenders, then this has to be one cheap ass replacement.

Having a closer second look at a couple rock chips, the paint underneath the orange on the drivers side is green (original car color). However, the paint underneath the orange on the passenger fender is black.

f***in cheapass previous owners....
