They will fit Neil but you will have to cut the back of the header panel and you will need adapters that go from the 9007 to the 9008/H13 lamps. When I did mine I made a new harness that plugs into the original and runs the new lights off the batteries via a relay.

i think my original 99 lens that was new right before this accident is brighter than the 05 lights, but they look better. and now i got fogs to help out.

i changed it all at once.

Love the truck

429, I love the visor, where did you get that? Also, I didn't understand if your headlights are OEM or aftermarket. Looking at your truck, I think I will make mine two tone. Great job.

Visor

Hey 429, I have been searching the internet for the visor, do you have a part number or the name of the visor? Lund makes different styles, i think yours is a solar visor but I'm not sure. How was it to install? Thanks in advance.
