    Do you need the new hood? Looks very similar to the 05-11 model

    I just did mine this weekend. I'll toss some pictures later.
    You need a new hood, lights, grill, bumper, bumper supports.

    Yes you need a new hood. The pic i posted above is the 05-11 hood

    Here is an updated one. Still waiting on the grille surround that was supposed to be here last wednesday:oops:

    Did mine over the weekend. Need to add fillers under the headlights, secure the bottom of the grill and color match the grill surround.
    Since the I still had all the 05-11 bumper support and an after market bumper, I just bobbed the two bumper support precipices that have headlight clips and bolted them under the current ones.
    For anyone interested, the last picture shows the fit of the 05-11 hood with 12-15 grill/lights.

    Did you guy all have to swap out the hood latch for a 2012-15 one? Wondering if there's a way that I can make the 2008 latch work.

    You just have to reach up over the grill to grab the latch

    I'm in the process of getting the front end conversion together; however, how did you guys wire the fog lights? Since 05-11 are H10 bulbs and 12-15 are H11 bulbs. Did you guys run a conversion harness of some sort?

    I may have missed it, but haven't had luck finding an answer..
