what spec is your range, and why do you want to upgrade your lights? ... - .- -.

You will have to remove the air box and replace it with an aftermarket K&N filter, you do realise that you cant just swap the headlight for the newer style, you have to replace the whole front end of the vehicle e.g bumper, crash car etc.... Matt |

Hi It's 4.4 HSE,Both the headlights on the car are missing the lugs to keep them inplace looks like they have snapped off so I thought I would replace them with the newer all in one lights, why would I replace the bumper it dose not interfere with the lights, when I spoke to the dealership they did not mention changing the air box. I just asumed that the 2008 lights that I have must be different from the 2006 lights. |

the square shape lights you have on your 2003 are completely different to the headlights from 2005 onwards...if you want to fit the newer ones then you have to replace the bumper ,bumper backplate and grill...there is a write up in the wiki re this... ... - .- -.

Hi like already said its quite a big job parts you need will be lights,front grill front bumper and bumper support bar,wheel archer's and you need to trim the front wings down ( behind headlights) also rewire the headlight plugs.
