Changing 05 into 06, new headlights and fenders?

[SRT-10 Fanatic]

I want to change the headlights on a 05 QC into the 06 style. Do I just need new fenders and headlights?

Thx,
Florian

Well, I agree that the 06 headlights look alot better, but WOW.. that's quite an expense just to upgrade the look.

You would be the first:rock: Fenders,Lights,Hood,inner panels and wiring.
Can't wait to see the finished product!!

wont the finished product look like a 06?

Yeah,an 05 interior with an 06 front end:rock:

Yeah you'd certainly be the first to think the 06' front end looks better that's for sure.... :dontknow:

 

[streetwedg]

you would have to change the front bomper also.06 is flat under lights

Ok, so fenders, headlights, grill and front bumper should do it. Will post some pics when finished. By the way this QC will also be perhaps the first QC with a CE paintjob.

Would be willing to wager that once the price tag for this change is totaled that the mod will not occur...trade for an 06 and you will come out better by far!

Someone must have VERY deep pockets..

I love the 06 exterior and I like the 05 interior so just a swap is not the solution...

06 the best looking and fastest.

If you're going to do this mod you might look into 07 or 08 headlights. I saw a new Dodge and the headlights did not have the gold reflector across the bottom of the light. I called my dealer to see if they interchange. The dealer was no help. Does anyone know if they will fit?

dodgetalk.com go to the exterior section.

Does anyone know if they will fit?

I'm no expert . . but I don't see one single reason why they wouldn't and shouldn't.

I thought about going with aftermarket like

Or are these crap?

 

[HV SRT]

I like the look. I wounder how bright they are.

That sounds expensive. "Jayssrt" a member put aftermarket head lights on his 05 QC. I just saw them earlier today and they really look good. They have the small lamps with the black reflector shield background. I don't know the details. Maybe he could post a picture or you could PM him.

Sounds great :top: Can't wait to see some pictures of your truck with the '06 front and CE paintjob :rock:
