Default Headlight interals interchangeable?

I recently picked up a pair of used 98+ headlights. I decided to go with these due to the better cut off line and better projector from research on this site. The Inside lens on both my 95 headlights are horrible, they need to be taken apart and cleaned, so this was an easy purchase to make. I DD my SC, So taking these out and cleaning them in just a few hours wasnt going to happen.

The seller decided to ship USPS. This was a mistake. The box arrived on my doorstep from a two year tour in Afghanistan. With UPS and Fed-Ex shipping insurance is included in the price. USPS, you have to add it. Cant blame the seller, Cause I didnt bother to ask. Sucks for me.

The main mount on one headlight is completely snapped off. And on the other the headlights adjustment "indicator"? is broken in half and just flops around. These headlights looked almost mint in the pictures, But ive also noticed there are no alignment levels/floats in the housing. Someone had to have had these apart before. Emailed seller and his response was "They have never been out of the car since ive had it."

Can I swap the projector and lens into my 95' housing? Is the projector the only diffrence between the 92-96 & the 97+? Would I be able to interchange the pieces?

They should be interchangeable with no issues. IIRC the only difference was the internal design of the lens for the sharper cutoff line.
