difference of a 95-96 and a 97-98

What is the difference between a 95-96 and a 97-98. I'm guessing that the only difference is the different headlights. So if both generation is going under a S15 front conversion, both cars would be the same exact thing. Can someone please confirm this or tell me the correct answer. If there has been a previous thread can someone tell me what I have to search for. Thank you.

Beside the different headlights which you guessed, the tail lights are also different.

The gauge cluster trim on a 95-96 is smooth were as the 97-98 has little bumps on it

Hey I have a 98 and Im tryin to sell my tail lights.................siiiiike no way im sellin em =D. Another thing diff between the zenki and the kouki is the gauges itself, the zenki (95-96) gauges overlap each other, as mine DONT. I have a set of reverse glow gauges for a zenki if anyone wants them, 30 shipped new =D.

I just want the BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT so I can SEE SEE SEE. Yea I was joking about my lights, no way i put zenki on mycar, nor did I sell them lol.
