Are your headlights sealed beam glass, or the plastic ones?

if you have the XL trim grade and have the all gray grill, then you most likely have sealed beam headlights. you can get Ecode versions of the sealed beam units. if you have XLT or better trim grade, then you ahve to change the frosted housings out to 2002-2004 clear glass housings. its a simple swap.
also consider upgrading the wiring harness- oem is thin wires = voltage drop. you can roll your own or get premade harness from goss racing. link in my sig.

If he was going to change the whole front end couldn't he put the 05-06 stuff on it? I saw pics of some truck that was converted. Looking at the front you would never tell that it was older.

I upgraded my headlights using ICPW headlights from GOS Racing along with a HEADLIGHT HARNESS and Silver Star head light bulbs. The improvement was astounding, just what my aging eyeballs needed.
