96 2500 ram with 2001 sport head lights

Will Sport head lights off of a 2001 ram work on my 1996 non sport ram?
I would like to have the crystal clear head lights on my truck?

Yes, but you'll have to do a little cutting of inner sheet metal around where the headlight housing fits back into the innards there. I put Sport Headlights in my '95. I just took a sawzall and cut out a little bit, primed the edge of the cut with rubberized stuff I had lying around and slapped them in. I also rigged up relays, one for hi-beams and one for lo-beams so the load was taken off the headlight switch. It's one of the best things I ever did to my truck. I CAN ACTUALLY SEE NOW!!!

There are many threads on this. Take a search and be ready to sit and read a while.

Yes. It will actually take you longer to read the threads than it will to pull the old headlights out, stick the new ones up there to eyeball how much you need to cut, and cut the sheet metal away.
