those are the ones I had gotten back in the day cuz the 05 headlights were just out and $$$$$. They do not compare to the 05-07 lights at all!

here is my gallery from back then:

I need to upgrade my headlights bad. I like the looks of the 05's are they just simply bolt on or are there a little modification needed.

You need to cut your header panel to get the 05 headlights to fit. Very easy to do, you will also need an upgraded wiring kit to make it work. Its not that hard to do.

Depends on what you are trying to do. I just went to suvlights.com because I wanted to get the correct sockets and put bulbs in to test them. After that, I went with HID lights. IIRC, GOS Performance sells the harness.

Yeah Travis, the fit looks all wrong. I'm starting to get a little haze on my passenger side light so that's why I've been looking at other options. I may just go with the '05-'07 style and leave it at that. As much as I like the looks of the chrome grill from the same years, I don't want anyone mistaking mine for a 6.0. I'm proud of my '02 7.3, so I'll keep be keeping my grill.

But to slightly hijack, was there a procedure for cleaning the haze of our lights somewhere? Can't seem to find it using search.

I have a product called Flitz that works pretty good......I got it off a 2am infomercial lol......just use it with a small buffer and it cleans em right up! I think all of the aftermarket style lights will get that yellow haze after awhile, my OEM lights were almost completely yellow when I made the "upgrade" to these ebay cheapies. I will probably go back to oem style...and do the HID route
