they are expensive

bur front bar, headlights and possibly the rio behind the bar.

i also have a feeling that the bonnets could be slightly different also

Everything you need is listed below

headlights (viewtopic.php?f=44&t=48452) (from me) (NB8B/NB8C)
front bumper (NB8B/NB8C)
taillights (they are also different) (NB8B/NB8C)

---
Headlights lets say $350 - $500 depending on condition etc...
front bar $250 - 350
taillights - $150 - 250
======
Do the math urself

You will need to change the plastic inner guards and the wiring and plugs are different.

wiring 10min job just buy some wiring for $10.

All you need is ...
9006 Bulb low beam

a high beam bulb, you just have to wire the high beam up cause its seperate

Plastic inner guards should either come with the bumper or just dont use any.. who cares. Move your intake there.. better cold air lol and for the driver side.. its all metal anyway.. u dont need a guard
