they are too tall bolt holes top to bottom do not align up and the bracket is strait on the pre 05s and has a big step forward on the 05+s. The 05+ can be got on ebay for 35 each not worth all the work to try to rig the old ones to me.

When I redid my bumper the fog lights were the easiest thing to mod because of the plastic. I just cut mine down, took like 5 minutes to do both.

Measure twice cut once.

I used a cut off wheel to cut the webbing out for the bolts and carefully smooth it out.

Wish I had something nice to say, I 100% disagree with what you are doing. Putting a truck like that in the hands of a 15 year old is just ignorant.

Anyway, I found this tonight

Yeah, I think that's everything I need, but that cost more than the rest of my front end put together Can I put the header panel and lights in or do I need to have it off to put the lower on?
