I did some research, wanted to do it to my 04 but have not, you need the bumper, bumper brackets, headlights, headerpanel "fiberglass light support talked about above, headlight wiring adaptors, bumper cover, grill. kinda forget the rest but it is in the links, the center link has a grill and lights that are made to fit in 04 with out doing the bumper and other changes.
hope this helps

Here is the shorten 05 grill to fit with 04 bumper, you can install 05-07 headlight too but have to cut the 04 headerpanel

As the others have said. It all depends on how much work you want to do and how many more pieces you want to buy. The cheapest route is to trim your existing header panel to fit the new lights and pick up the wiring adapter to run the new bulbs. Then trim the bottom of your new grill and put it all together.
Otherwise you can buy a new header panel and a newer front bumper so you don't have to trim the grill. You can get the wiring pigtail adapters from dfuser.com. They also have instructions with pics on their site on how to trim the header panel.
