Backward headlight conversion

I have a 2005 F-350 and want to put the previous generation of headlight on it. I prefer the look of the larger reflector and it gives more room if I chose to do HID conversion to the housing later.
Other than the pigtails, what sort of modifications and fitment issues am I looking at?
Thanks in advance.

None. The '99 to '03 require some cutting of the header panel when install the '05-'07 lights.

Instead of putting the older headlights in I would suggest looking into having 05-07 lights retro fitted with the projectors and hids tcmglx does the retrofits he has the last post in this thread send him a pm for details.
