i believe the 99-00 coil packs were different as well as the engine cover
The top cover was square on the 99-00 and rounded on the 01-up

Coil packs had nothing to do with year. I have seen 3 different versions on all years.

How ever valve covers did change do to the PCV system routing.

you have to get to the photoresistor (that little black bulb by the windshield), and unplug it. then you take a radio shack resistor (i forget what value - there're a few writeups around here) and stick it into the harness connector. tape it up & put everything back together. what it does is tell the BCM that it's always bright daylight outside, so it keeps your DRLs on until you manually use your light switch.
