Lots of people have done this modification so it must be possible.
Things that may not be easy are;
- change the wiring, as tescoking said above the lights work differently in 2001+ models so the wiring is different.
- different light mountings, you may need to modify either the light housing or the on car mounting points to make them fit.

The NB series two (2001 built) were the first to have VVT in the engine. Little bit of extra power and efficiency.

Huge list of differences;
Better seats, foglights in the bumper, better headlights, more power, SVT, bigger brakes, ABS, EBD, RPM sensitive power steering, 6 speed gearbox, coil on plug ignition, better suspension, usable cupholders, white faced gauges, different steering wheel, 16in wheels, more chassis stiffening, different rear lights, remote boot release & keyless entry, double DIN stereo, probably more that I can't remember.

Are you definite the 2001 has auto-down for drivers window, mine doesn't have it! :S Perhaps the previous owner upgraded your switches?
I get passenger down sometimes when I shift gears though

It was added to the NB8C in 2003. Some later 2002 NB8Bs got it too. The function is entirely contained within the switch so you can just swap the switch unit in to earlier NB8Bs.

Yup, mine didn't have it either.
I reckon the late 2002 model (with OBDII) onwards came with it. I got mine off an NB SE

Not really, as I rmbr I saw on another post, there are actually some modifiction need. But it is easy. Just change a few cable and it will work.

Not true actually.
I have one from an NB SE in my '01 8B, and it's just a direct swap with the non auto-down version. All good

But not a direct fit to NB8A. Some rewiring required.
