I bought mine off ebay the complete 4 piece and swapped from sealed beam to the replacable type with no problems in about 1 1/2 hours. It's an easy job needed to remove some small moulding bits did it with my dremel tool and the saw wheel, the fog light projection housing needed a tad more room. Bought the whole setup both sides for less than the dealer wanted for one headlight, and they look better than OEM and work great!

I think the '03-'07 had the option of a one piece per side or two, depending on what your taste is I know I looked at the one piece for mine as well. I thought the two would be better because if one breaks I have the choice to replace each part separately, either the headlight or turn signal rather than the whole thing.
