I got them from headlightswholesale.com. They were about $168 after tax/shipping. Came with the pigtail to change over and bulbs too. Just had to get a few #10 speed clips for the tops to bolt in and some # 10 matching screws of course.

The second one was very easy lol. They new lights dont use the same holes or adjusters as the old ones do. There are 2 screws on the bottom that holds the turn signals in. Take those out and the turnsignal/parking light will come out with a easy pull, unhook the wires and then on the Headlamp part there are some clips behind the adjusting screws to take out. 2 on each side. Then there is an adjustment screw for the bottom. Just back out the screw (I think it's a 20 torx) all the way till the light comes out. Then follow the directions for cutting. I used an angle grinder with a metal blade and it worked fine. You can cut out way more than they show on the picture. Just make sure you leave the original bottom screw holes and there are two holes on top you need to leave as well. That's where the speed clips go. It's easy once you realize what can be cut and what needs to stay.

IDK either, I just thought it would look cleaner w/o them. I usually don't pay a lot of attention to instructions. The pattern they sent for cutting the header wasn't even close. If I were to do it again I would remove the header and trim it on a bench. It's a real PIA doing it in the truck.

Thanks guys. I got the grill for $80 local and cut it with a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade. It cut almost all the way through and what was left broke off easily. I took the old lights off the Excursion and put them on my 01 xl f250 work truck. I'll take pics of that tomorrow. I might paint my grill on it (the truck is white also) I got suckered into putting a timing belt on my wifes Honda CRV this weekend lol, so it masight take a week or so. At least I don't have to stand on the bumper to wrench, haha.

Please watch the foul language, this is a family site!
Kidding aside, I'll probably go with the aftermarket lights also. Sure looks nice and I bet you can see a heck of a lot better at night.
