Yes they will with some minor cutting. Here's a good link.

I've got a set that I just removed from my '02 cause I'm doing the '05 full conversion. Bought them from ebay and they have no amber on them, just smoked. I'll attach some pics of them on my truck and there's more in my gallery under "smoked lenses." I purchased new and installed them in October 2007 and took them off in Feb. 2008. Also have Silverstar Ultra's that I purchases new in November. They are the best aftermarket bulbs on the market right now. Very white/bright. They are included as well. PM me if you're interested. Am also selling the billet grill and bumper if you'd be interested in changing your front end to the chrome.

If you don't mind spending the money I'd do the '05-up conversion... better beam pattern and will give your truck an updated look to boot.

If not the aero headlights are a direct swap... I think the H7 plugs are already on your truck too.

if you do get aero headlights.... make sure they come with hardware. i bought some OE '03 headlights for my '99 on another forum, but he didnt send the hardware, so my good deal wasn't so good when it was said and done.

What hardware's missing?

Can't you swap out the stuff from your stock lights to the '03s?
