I posted this somewhere else but I should have done it here first! I have a 1999 XLT 4X4 and was wondering if the painted grill part that surrounds the headlights and grill is the same as the 2000 lightning? I have a hole in mine from a large rock and found one from a 2000 lightning. It's the part that is painted the body color. The used one I found has the grill in place so if my XLT one will not fit, that’s not too bad. Are the headlights the same shape?

 

It should, but I could be wrong.
Good luck
