Looking at them they should be an easy install once all the OEM is out. I used similar to this kit: 99-04 FORD F250 F350 SUPERDUTY HARLEY BLACK HEADLIGHTS - eBay (item 130488014344 end time Mar-19-11 11:50:17 PDT). I had to trim a little, but it was easy, and they look great compared to factory.

ya i watched a video on youtube, do you really have to take out the whole grille support to get the head lights out? i dont think i will have to trim due to the fact that i don't have any extra plugs,

No, I didn't have to take out the support, just the grille and lights, trimmed it up, slapped it back together. Didn't take long.

Its a real pain to get to the clips, but completly doable without pulling the core support.

i did my headlights and my buddy's without even touching the grill, if i wasn't worried about busting the grill apart i might've taken it off but you can do it with the grill still in, and headlights will do WONDERS for the looks of a truck

i know this has nothing to do with the headlights but we're talking about the grille and i was told that the grille out of an 07 would snap right in place, is this correct? and ya i just spent my funds for the headlights so now thats on hold
