After 5 years I finally got tired of looking at my mangled gray bumper on my 05 F350. Bought the truck with it that way. Was a fleet truck and had the old sealed beam bulbs.
Junkyard in southern Indiana didn't have any 05-07s. Had newer stuff (08+) that would require converting the whole front clip and a few 03-04s.
Only had a single 03 left with an intact front end. I took the header panel, lights, and chrome bumper since the bumper was a different pattern than my stock one. I forgot to grab the grill when leaving and now its gone. Have to make a few more trips till I catch one there.
Turn signal bulbs are fine and plug in, but the headlights are HB5/9007 halogens. How much of a problem is this?
If I go get the pig-tails to splice it in, is it going to burn up the wiring and turn my truck into a funeral pyre because of the higher current draw?
Thanks!
