How did you convert the headlights to the 2009 and newer style. I love that style compared to the rectangular assemblies on older models. Did you do custom work or do they just fit with the new bumper?

Looks good but those old style mirrors need to go.

This is the cleanest conversion I've ever seen.

If you had it to do all over again, would you just buy a used Raptor? It looks like you really spent some time, effort, and money on this. Sometimes the journey is its own reward, spectacular job!

Has anyone ever figured out that the exact same light was first produced by Grote for OEM Raptor applications? Way cheaper than buying from Ford. $17ish at your local commercial truck supply retailer. Bullet ends rather than a molded pigtail but that doesn't matter on look a like projects.
