'05 frontend swap
I have swapped the '05 frontend onto my 2000 SD and I can't find the headlight plugs. Both the blinker and running light plugs swapped over but the headlights plugs are different.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Frank

DixieMfg,
What all front end parts have you switched over? I have a 2000 SD as well, the front end is damaged and I want to replace it with '05 parts. Are the headlight plugs your only problem? I am looking at replacing my grill, headlight assembly, and bumper. Any help is greatly appreciated! -Dan

I'll post some pics tomorrow. The swap took me about 35 minutes. You will need to buy a grill, headlights, and the panel that holds the grill and headlights.
Headlights-$147, grill-$116, panel-$120ish all of the parts are from ford, but i can't find the new bulb plugs
We just painted the truck satin black. The wheels and bumpers will be powdercotated gloss black when the oven gets here and we get done with the prototypes.

krane operator the "panel" is the part that holds the headlights and grill but i don't know the proper term for it.
Jesse460 thanks for the part numbers, I will check this out in the morning
jhemr the grill is around 2 inches taller and the bumper can't be reused you will need a '05 bumper or an aftermarket one, I can't really go into details on the bumpers, I don't want to be banned from this site
Thanks,
Frank

I smashed my bumper ( bumper ONLY not any of the plastic pieces) and i bought a new one for $260 from a friend who is a dealer. The dearlership wanted 360 for a new steel bumper and the chrome one was 380. Im sure a entire 05 bumper would cost $600 area or more... bumper, plastic top cover and bottom and all the brackets.
