All P5 headlight housings are the same. My suspicion is that a wire for the fog lights was cut somewhere in the accident.

^^^ That's got to be the problem, or maybe the connection is loose, etc. I've had the 2003 headlights in my 2002 for over two years, and no problems - even though to do the swap was a PITA.

Special? No. Just look for chaffed or broken wiring [harnesses].

our fogs are useless anyway, more eye candy than anything... never turn mine on!

Other than trying to remember where 4 (of what seemed like 100) left-over screws went in the bumper cover... (crazy) Nope - it was a direct swap.
