Well, i got mine installed last night. PSS didnt include the lower valance, but i do have one off of the 06 that we put a snow plow on.... I just need the hardware. Plus Ben forgot to mention that the fog lights were different... so im waiting on those brackets, and then i'll get some pics. I really, really like it.

As for the emblems my buddy i think hooked me up on them.
As for the HD lights...I just go in from installing them. Involved hacking the headlight support panel (which i knew i had to do) I cut the old headlight harness and installed the new pigtails (thanks Alldata Pro for wiring diagram!), and had to reuse my parking/turn signal socket from my old set-up since the socket that came with the HD lights had a diffrent connection were the harness plugs into. Overall for doing it in the dark with some help with drop light it wasn't all that bad.
I had Silverstar bulds in my old set-up and now with the HD lights installed I can notice the new HD lights aren't as bright, but iam sure if I install some silverstar bulds in the HD lights that will make a big diffrence.
I never took pics since it is dark out so i'll get some tommorow and report back.

When you use the harness to upgrade the lights, there is a free plug on the passenger side, which is in the truck's harness. You insert a diode in the plug a certain way and then leave it there, and you get the same effect as the brite box for a few cents. Someone will be along with the info.
