i was looking at an 08 Expedition the either day and noticed that the fenders look identical to the ones on the 03-06 Expeditions, i was wondering if the 07-10 front bumper, headlights, and grille are a direct bolt on ??? i know i could pic up those parts for under $500 i could probably do the whole conversion with under $1000, i just want to know if anything would have to be altered to make the 07+ front end fit..

the only problem i can think of right now is how to go from separate high and low beams to a dual high/low

 

Also wondering if it would work on 97-03 F-150?

 

^its been done.


its probabaly mostly bolt-on, but who knows, you may have to 'custom' fit a few things.

the separate hi/lo beams would be easy. just take off the wire that triggers the high beam and splice it into a new socket (9007 or whatever it is) and ground the other wire

 

so what do you guys think ?? I know a guy selling everything for the front minus the headlights fenders and hood, i need to know because i think at the price he's selling it everything will go fast

 

try it

worst case, you have to go back to your original setup and sell it off.


you won't get stuck with them...if they are in good shape, they'll sell

 

not to sound stupid but I thought all there was to a front conversion was fenders hood and headlights LOL so from my list u aren't getting anything u need lmao... brackets possibly?

 

i don't think ima do it mostly because i need the hood, and i know a new hood would cost a leg and an arm, and if you read the original post i said the fenders look identical

 

I am bringing this back from the dead I am new here. But I just bought a 05 expedition and love it but thinking about this summer doing the swap has anyone done it if so is there a lot that needs to be done.

 

You need the hood, headlights, grille, bumper. You're fenders will work. You will need the header panel from 07+ to work. Sorry for late response.

 

did you end up doing this??? I’m curious because I’ve been thinking of making my 05 a 07 clone?

 

Look at the post right above yours...........

 

I wasn’t asking the o/p I was asking the person who I quoted. Just wanted to see if they did it or not
