Nice work, I would like to do the same thing to my 05. I just don't like thinking about the cost involved to replace all that, even if it was from the wreckers I would still be paying quite a bit...

grill and bumper paint - 300

I just got the 07 Headlights but they are Halogen. I know which wires to splice, concerning/turn signal and fogs. Is the rewire the same when you go from factory hid to halogen with a hid kit? If not I'm go to sell these lights.

No it doesn't. The sides are 1" short, you have to extend.

Very nice. but not a big fan of the headlights. I like the older 04-05 headlights.

IMO I hate the 04 headlights. Why would u put fog lights in the headlights? Also dramatic brightness difference with the 07 parking/blinkers since they are exposed. 04 headlights = fail.

Also what do u mean how are the fogs?
