[QUOTE=PaysonPSD]I got mine from an oufit called GT Racers. They are an ebay seller. They meet mine needs. I put Silverstar Ultras in them for a bit more light.

Ebay Link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00-01-04-FORD-F250-F350-PROJECTOR-HEAD-LIGHTS-CORNER_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ002QQi temZ120233728686QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the link. Much appreciated. I have to say 44.00 to ship them is excessive. I am in the shipping business and that is just plain ridiculous.

The sellers don't pay a vig on the shipping cost so they always jack them up for a better profit margin. SUCKS!

Is that the modified grille to fit in an 00 or just the grille? The modified grille on ebay comes ready to fit onto an 00 truck. Is this one ready to fit on or does it need to be cut down and brackets made?

So you have an 05 grille that has been cut down to fit an 00? If so, how does it attach at the bottom? I might be interested if you are parting with something like that.

On the bottom of the grill it uses a small L shaped bracket on each side of the grill and is attached to the headlight panel. the top of the grill still uses the 4 or 5 screws.
