Wink 05 wannabe

Instead of doing the whole bumper and headpanel deal, I did it a little different. I bought the 1-piece headlights off Ebay ($175), it was the closest 05 looking headlights I could find. I also bought the grille modified to fit the 99-04 bumpers ($250). These headlights were a big upgrade from my 01 units that had somewhat slightly yellowed. The adjustment is great, plenty of up/down/left/right adjust and they are so much brighter (Both hi and low beam) compared to the stock units (I'm using stock bulbs). The grille went on easier than it came off and the truck looks great.






I spent roughly a total of $500 +/- $10 or so after shipping and stuff. Truck still drives the same but looks wicked lol I have more pictures in the gallery section.

I hate to say it but, in a way, I think that looks better than my 05. Did I just type that??? I think I like the crome on crome match with the bumper. Nice job!

You know I had another guy come up to me at the supermarket and he said the same thing, the chrome on chrome looks great and asked where I got the bumper. I told him it's an 01
