Harley grill and headlight conversion
I am thinking of installing the headlights and billet grill from the 2005 - 2007 trucks on my 99. I just like the looks of it, and I understand that the Harey has better lights.
Has anyone done it, and where can I get a kit for the best price?
Appreciate any advice.

This is the grille that I am going to go with in the near future. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHROM...em330141941546
I'm still looking for the Harley Davidson lights. I saw them several times somewhere but i haven't found them tonight.

Okay, I have question that may help you. My buddy did this to his car, and ive been seriously debating trying it on my truck since i wanted HD lights, but couldnt find them for the price i found my regular 05 lights. Taking an 05 headlight, you put it in a oven at like 150-175* to make the glue that is holding them together come loose. THen you pry the two apart, take out that chrome piece, and paint that. Use a silicon to put them back together, ive been comtemplating this for awhile, just need the guts to take these headlights and bake them.

mom would get pretty pissy if she came home and found me standing beside the oven with a headlight beside it. "Son, what the F" ...At least in my house.. That sounds like a good idea though if it would work, you could then paint it whatever color to match your truck. When i do go to the 05+ grille, i was debating on the chrome package grille or the regular SD chrome grille. I want the HD headlights because the gray background is damn near the same color as my paint on the truck. If i can pick up the lights for cheap(er than that $629) i may just do the lights and keep my custom IH grille. Think it would look good with my color?

The Harley lights will definitely look sharp.

Here's that add for the headlights seems like a great deal. He'll even throw in the upgraded harnesses for an additional $30.
