Default will 2004 Head light fit in 2001 Boxster

Looking to get rid of my old amber headlights on my 2001 Boxster and was wondering if a 2004 clear Head light will fit?

'97 - '04 are all the same. If it looks the same, then it is. In 2005, the headlights changed to the newer style.

These fit into the fenders of my '01, however there is a gap between the lower portion where the headlight meets the top of the bumper. Also, when installed, the fog lights are very dim and the turn signal flashes very irregular and fast....

Did you buy post facelift style?

Sounds like it.

So the facelift that was done in 2003 uses (minutely) different front headlights? I thought it was just the lower front spoiler, rear splitter??
