Hey im sure this topic has been covered, I just can't find it.
I have an 02 ram and i love the look of the 06-08 facelift, in order to pull off the conversion I have two questions; What parts need replaced, (fender headlights and grille, anything else?)
And would wiring the headlights be simple or complicated?

 

Just trade it in.

 

It has been done a few times, and I believe somewhere on here someone has pics. I'll see if I can find it.
Needed: Fender, Bumper, Headlights, Bumper Cap and mounts. LMC has everything needed, unless you can find a donor vehicle cheaper. I had everything all planned out to do this to my '02 until I found my Mega Cab.

 

Fenders
----> I would look craigslist/junk yard for a cheap set.
---->Another option, ebay has company that sells them painted shipped for very reasonable, this is the route I would personally take.

Headlights
---->You can go as crazy or cheap as you want here, there always seems to be a cheap set of 06's (because of the ugly orange strip on the bottom).
---->or you could spend small fortune on an awesome set of retro's

Bumper or Bumper Cover
---->Cheapest route is a bumper cover, only replacing the upper plastic piece that is RED right now.
---->Middle of the road is get a aftermarket bumper cover like street scene.
---->Expensive, buy a laramine bumper cover and mount in ONTOP of the chrome. (for more info on this just ask)


Grill
---->You need a new grill to match your new Bumper covers lines. Cheap primed grills all day long on ebay.
----> Also make sure it comes with inserts, because yours will not work on the new one.
---->The grill supports from the 02-05 will work with trimming, or just order the entire new support as well. Just make up your mind on this one and run with it.


And boom all done. (Can you tell I have considered this before??)

 

haha i can tell thanks very helpful, any research done on headlight wiring or is it plug and play?, Will there be any hood latch issues?, and the laramie bumper cover looks legit i want it

 

Head light wiring.... Something makes me think you have to splice the harness to make it work right. Hmmm.... Not sure there.

And I have never heard any hood latch issues. Another good question.
