I run 9005s(headlight bulbs) in mine.
There are 3 tabs on the bulb... all you have to do is cut 1/2 of one off and they twist into the housing.
I did the same with the housings i sold you
Im running Silverstar Ultras for both my headlights and foglights
As far as wiring, you could check salvage yards for front bumpers and nab the wiring off of a smashed truck.... God knows Ive done that a million times for almost every vehicle Ive owned

Yep, just put them in. Looks great! 
I suppose they changed the lights for output purposes, who knows.
I also put in the radio, looks great. Got the antenna adapter, Metra 40-CR20 at Best Buy. Had to go to the install guy and explain exactly what I wanted, even told him the part number and he still gave me the wrong one. I told him what I wanted again and he brought me the right one. Dumbass.
Anyway... Fitment is a smidge different, the face of the radio sticks out just a tad past the dash surround, but it looks great and sounds great too. Plus it has RDS, my old radio didn't. Now I need to get the ipod interface I want and I'll be set.
I may mess with the radio fitment at a later date. I installed it in like 5 minutes.

Hey Rob, I figured out why the 08 cd deck stands out farther than the 05 cd deck. The mounting point is back a bit farther, about 3/16 of an inch or so. I can remove the angle mount with the proper torx bit, take the mount to the garage and re-drill the holes back about 3/16 or so, grind off the alignment pins, re-mount the mount and I'm all set.
Piece of cake.
Weird they changed the mount. I wonder if they changed the dash a bit? Makes me curious.

That is weird. Have no idea if they changed the dash or whatever. Glad you got it to work for ya. Still trying to get my new 700BT to fit perfectly. Screws dont seem to fit in all the way so it sits a little loose.
