No. It will still look like it's missing parts from inside. If you want 99-00 headlights then do the front end conversion or if you just want clear '96-'98 headlights they sell them on eBay.
Most local governments require you to have front reflectors. The orange stripe is your reflector. Turn signals generally have to be of an orange or yellow color on the front. No red on the front though it's allowed on the rear.
