05-07 Headlights Upgrade

Got it done last night. Big thank you to Clay and Ed for the lights and thanks to JD for the phone help and the 45 minutes break to chat about diesels in general..

Here we go!!

(In case anyone is wondering, my grill cracked so it was being superglued back together at the time..)
Stock 02 lights

Driver's side chopped (apparently my 02 headerpanel is different than anyone elses.)

Passenger'a side chopped

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35223180@N03/4239229294/" title="100_0479 by shady0667, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2696/4239229294_d81c61d623.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="100_0479" /></a>

Almost done...

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35223180@N03/4238457025/" title="100_0482 by shady0667, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2696/4238457025_e323d41f0d.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="100_0482" /></a>

Grill added.. complete..

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/35223180@N03/4239230582/" title="100_0483 by shady0667, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4022/4239230582_385f5d68a7.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="100_0483" /></a>

Looks great Andrew turned out real nice! How do you like the lighting over the 02s now? BTW have fun cleaning the engine bay that dust likes to cling to everything.

I gotta realign the lights.. They aim alot lower towards the grpund but put out more light. I still need to zip tie the tops and then equal them out.. so once I get them up a bit I will really like them.

Looks great! Curiosity got the best of me so i looked around to see how much a 05 header panel is, $421!

I'll be cutting my 02 header when the time comes as well!
