    3rd gen trucks have a completely different front end and completely different headlights - both LED and halogen projector versions. I don't see any way to simply swap them over.

    My guess, it would be a simple bolt on after you swap everything from the cab forward to a 3rd gen....

    Duct tape should work. Maybe a few rolls.

    I figured blinker fluid was only for German cars. But it sure couldn't hurt!

    Pros: It looks modern. Cons: they have halogen projectors

    Anything is possible if you have money.

    This right here.

    Thanks. Didn't think it was possible and had someone arguing with me otherwise so I thought I would ask the "experts" here!
