Just finished the '05-'07 headlight and grill and want to thank all of you that posted on this mod. It sure made the job a lot easier.

Looks great man! Congrats! I've been looking at installing a 05+ grille for a while. Was that a direct bolt-on or did you have to mod it?

Thanks, it is a bolt on. I had to be in Sacramento the other day, gave them a call and they had it ready when I got to their office. The link below shows how easy it is.

I see the price on the conversion grille has come down in price....Not sure if that is the company that was selling them a while back on Ebay or not but I bought one of those (used) from a member on here that had come from the Ebay seller and was disapointed at the cheap looking "bracket" that THEY had made for the grille to fit onto a '99-'04 truck........That said I love the look as well-I chose to go with the '04 headlights as I was not ready to cut my header panel just yet....

Thanks All, the lights came from Headlights Wholesale : Taillights : Headlight : Taillight : Discount Prices. The grill is OEM and MKM trims it at their shop.
