Phillips Extreme. Not sure if it was the bulbs or new clear lens or both but it is much better without having to modify the header. I think the 05 have a more appealing look to some but with my bumper you can't really see them that well anyway. All I know is what I have is a lot better for only $100.

When I took the plunge it seemed like swapping the header panel was the easiest way to have a non zip tied grill. The panel was $82 shipped off of eBay. Biggest difference between the new and old header panels is the newer style is a lot less rigid. I can see more flex in the headlights but not an annoying amount, really simplified the installation procedures though.
I went all in with a projector headlight set from retrofit source that a friend helped me install and a steel bumper. After doing this headlight upgrade I wish it was something I'd done years ago, and being a purpose made projector it isn't blinding everyone around me so I don't get flashed. Going this route means you don't have to upgrade the wiring as the stock harness is only used for signal purposes to the projects.
This is what a low beam looks like now:
Was sentimental about giving my '02 front bumper up but the new look has me happy as a lark.

Guys, Any of you do the '07 front bumper during this swap?
Reason I ask is that I DID, and the painted filler (pad) sticks out from the bumper/fender and looks like crap........my bumper is aftermarket right now, I got a heck of a deal on a brand new, never used OEM Ford bumper, so I'm going to swap it out and see if the pad fits better.......ideas?
