So got some early birthday presents coming. :D Got a Harley grill and Harley headlights coming as well as an '08 tailgate and '08 rear bumper.

The truck is an '05 XL. Am I gonna need a different plug or anything to put the Harley lights in?

Also, is the '08 bumper gonna match up to my '05 bumper brackets?

I figure the tailgate should mount right up, correct? No need to change cables or anything?

Thanx! :D

If the tailgates go the lift assist you need the 08 up bracket. Otherwise everything should bolt up

Nah, it's the regular one. The fancy one costs more than twice as much as the regular one! :eek:

You shouldn't have a problem with the headlight wiring, it was the 04 and older harness's that needed to be changed for 05+ lights

Good deal. If I get lucky maybe I'll get the grill painted and put it all on before TS. That's not likely though. :p

You need the drivers side hinge bracket that bolts to the body to make the tailgate work. But everything else on the gate is the same.

Thats only if you got the lift assist

my tailgate had the lift assist. I just took it out and was able to use my stock hinges.

I put the different bracket (roller) on and it went right on. Looks great! :D

I still gotta take the flex fuel badge off. It's actually an '11 tailgate:

It looks like he hasn't put the 08+ bumper on yet, just the 08+ tailgate. But yes it is a direct bolt up on the bumper & tailgate you have to replace the roller pin on the lower drivers side. O.P. looks good so far

the bumper goes right on, I have a 2011 bumper on my truck....

Well, it actually is different plugs on the headlights. Anybody know where I can get plugs for 'em?

these are the wrong ones..... I just got done installing my 05 front end, and i had to clip off the one end and splice it into the stock headlight harness, I am sure you can send them back, or splice them in as I did. I do apologize, this was the link I was given sometime ago when I inquired about the wiring.
