input needed

Hey guys I am looking for some input on new headlights and grill for my truck. I can find all kinds of headlight kits on flea-bay but not much for grills. Where is a good place to find either or both and is the headlight harness like dfuser sells a must or is just the pigtails that come with some of the kits okay?
By the way I am wanting the 05 to 07 look if it makes a differance. Thanks for the help.....Kevin

Here's the look I did. Love it. You do need to upgrade you harness or you will not have the power needed for the new lights. The entire kit is about $90.00. (I think). The grill I have is a solid alum. billet full replacement and ran about $400.00 IIRC.

I'm looking, I lost all that on my old computer when it crashed. The box it came in was shipped by JBM Sports Truck. I remember it being $300.00 plus.

Lot of cutting, but worth it. Wish I had upgraded to the 05's a long time ago.

I went this route, 2 piece, because I was afraid of cutting, but I was a newbie then. More than willing to cut now.

Not 100% sure, but I think this is what I have. 99-04 Ford F250 F350 SD Metal Grille Shell w/ Polished Billet Insert didn't come from there, but I believe that's the grill.

Barry I like the looks of that grill....but I was thinking more along the lines of what Robin has on his truck. Do you remember where you got it from Robin?

It's a cut down stock '05 I got off Ebay about a year ago. It was already cut. Here is a thread on how to cut one down. CLICK HERE
