They have a clearer lens. The markers are a separate piece. 2005 are all one piece and mount differently, but will work with a bit of cutting to the head panel.

I just wanted to make sure they were plug and play and I could just bolt in without a bunch of mods I can handle changing bulbs!

If you are buying new, you should be fine, but if you buy used, make sure you get the adjusters with the 2004 lights, as the adjustment bolts and mounting hardware are not the same. It hooks to the truck the same, so it is plug and pay if you have all the adjusters attached, but you can't move over the adjusters from your earlier headlights.

I've done the upgrade, and it looks better, and increases light out put noticeably, but not drastically.
