Red face 05 conversion...

I've had this truck for a week and I've already purchased the 05 conversion and am working on getting the adapters so I can throw my Whipple on it. This was supposed to be a daily driver/ tow vehicle. I knew this would happen.

I grabbed the grill off of eBay. That was ~$330 with shipping. I first purchased the 05' "double decker" lights and then shortly after paying realized that my 9007 HIDs will not work with them. I then proceeded to purchase a set of the 2003 - 2004 projector style lights. So I have a 2003-2005 conversion.

i did the conversion. super easy. i also had the HID's in my old lights. i put the super duty "chrome package " grill on mine. as far as pics, really dont need any, just look at an 05 X, and there you have it.

My bad, wiring adapter. so you can run 9008. converts 9007 wireplug to 9008 plug. I thought that you bought a new HID kit anyway racer.

na, i just saw that they do have a harness for a factory 9008 harness the converts down to the 9007. i would like to know if i can just buy the bulbs for the 9008 hid. but i dont think that the wire ends will match up with the ones that i have. by that time i could get a new kit for $280. for the dual beam kit. thanks anyway...
