Here is my 2000 with 03-04 headlights,finishers and grill. The bumper is the stock 2000. There was a gap between the grill and the bumper , so I used a strip of aluminum and painted it black. I think I will anodize it black though becouse the paint is coming off. I think it was worth the time and money to do the swap. It did take a little wiring and sheetmetal cutting to fit the new lights. They put out more light than the old lights. I spent alot of time researching and collecting all the parts and tools prior to doing the swap. Once you cut the sheetmetal there is no going back to the old lights, you are commited to finish so you better have everything ready, especially if its your only vehical. The swap took about 5 hours to do. I cut the metal with a 4 inch grinder with a cut off wheel. and a die grinder with a cut off wheel. Sounds scary but it was pretty easy, your only cutting metal behind the light because it is deeper then the old light.Wiring is pretty easy, the new and old plugs dont match so you have to cut the plugs off the vehical side and splice wires about a foot long and connect to the new light. Go for it!!
