The S15 radiator support just came in a 1/2 hour though and I test fitted the S15 lights. It lookd like this radiator support will repair most the damage to my front end. anyway, come take a look.

well i compared my damaged core support to the s15 and...no not really at all.from what i can tell you need to cut holes in the back of the s14 core support where the headlights are to fit the HID part of the S15, you might also need to just a hole for a nub sticking out of the mounting part of the light. kinda hard to explain but if you saw it you'd be upset you bought a core support when such little mods are required to make the s14 work. My s14 core support is mangeled though so i bought the s15 one to replace it.

That core support wouldn't happen to be from http://intensepower.com/ would it? & where did you purchase the head lights from?

No thread jack intended...but here are some pics I took as I proceeded through modding my S14 rad core support for my S15 conversion...not only do you have to cut openings in the rad support, you have to also cut small portions of the upper core support rail to allow the lights to fit properly:
