it involves cutting a large section of the plastic headlight support out from behind the head lights, other then that its pretty easy........but if the plastics damaged, just get everything for the complete swap......

found this link a another site, CertiFit Auto Body Parts - Home you can get all the stuff you need. I would get the headlight mounting panel for the 05-07 so you don't have to hack yours all up. your also going to need a different wiring harness for the 05 lights.

you can read more about the 05 conversion here 05' Conversion/ face lift (pics) - Powerstroke Nation
