what all do i need to put a lightning grill on my 2000 expedition?

i have a 2000 honeycomb grill already but it looks to small to fit properly

 

ok so i attempted to install it anyways to find out that the grill fits top to bottom but not side to side... anyone know what i could do to fix that?

 

picks will help but they should match right up if im not mistaken

 

u talking about just the insert??? it should be a direct swap.. they jsut clip in.. should fit like factory..

 

these are the only pictures i have right now, the grill fits like i said top to bottom but when it is actually installed the sides dont fit right, the top upper corners fit but the rest curves inward away from the grill shell edge so it doesnt line up right

is it possibly a grill from a different year that has a different shaped shell?

here are the couple pics i took http://s891.photobucket.com/albums/a...ls88/?newest=1

 

Expeditions use a different surround then F150s, you will need an F150 surround to run the Lightning grill. If you are local to DFW i'd be more then happy to trade you for an F150 surround since im actually looking for an expy surround myself.

Here's the opposite, a Expy grill in a F150 surround

 

never would have noticed that until it was tried. its crazy how subtle the difference is

 

yea you'd have to really study the Expy to notice the piece between the grill and the headlights is just slightly thinner

 

i take that back.. the grille came with the surround.. so it came off an expy.. i didnt think there was a difference

nvm me

 

yeah it is def. very minor of a difference, and to think i was so excited that i could install the grill, i guess im going to the junk yard on thursday to get the f150 surround

and thank you patman03sprcrw for that info i def. appreciate it and wish i lived closer so we can swap

 

also how do you guys feel about these headlights and corner lights?

i have read mixed reviews.. or know anyone thats running them?

 

there are at least two people running them on here with good reviews. one is raptor05121.

i personally dont like how they did the black on the heads but i kind of like the corners

 

ok so maybe i should of started a how do you like this part thread... thejake1989 how is the n-fab prerunner? easy to install? sturdy?

 

haha. yea it was a very simple install it just bolt to the bumper and being that its only bolted to the bumper you wouldnt think it would be that strong but it can hold my 220 with out moving and it held my dad too and hes about 300. another guy i know also has one and got it a wreck with it and it was fine.

 

"raptor" is running those corners, and he loves them
