20140830_154722_zps5ebdbb9a.jpginally installed hids in my low beam projectors all legal like. Piaa high beams. Aimed . Realized when i go from high beam to low im in the dark for a sec...fun fun... simple mod at switch wiring connector now low stays on with high. And i can use the fogs high or low beam. The wife will be pleased..FB_IMG_1408843016755_zps59a5e553.jpg
Pics dont do any justice at all. I have piaas,hid offroad lamps and a 3ft led light bar on my heep. This thing rivals it.

I went to fit my billet grille but it doesnt fit......its to fit a f150..i thought same thing. But nope . It fits my buddies 01 f150 with a honeycomb style grille. What do i need to swap to make this work?

I think your best bet now would be to find an f150 grill and swap it onto your vehicle that's what I did when I picked up a cloud rider grill insert from the junk yard

Traded her in. I traded in the '03 Expy for an '05 Colorado. They gave me $7200 for the '03, with 150,000 I thought that wasn't too bad. I got a new job a few months ago and with a lot of driving, hopefully can get some better gas mileage. After lowering it and putting the 22's on it I was lucky to get 14mpg. If I can get 20 on the highway I'll be thrilled. I still have the '98 so I'll still get on here occasionally.

Here's what I got rid of.

Just the insert or whole assembly with headlamp surrounds?

I have to say I loved my Expy. And so far I have really liked the Colorado. I've already tinted the tails, debadged, tinted the windows, installed a Pioneer Avic-5000NEX and a remote start/keyless entry/alarm. I've been really impressed so far. And I love the improvement in gas mileage. Plus, I couldn't turn down $7200 for my truck, it was nice but starting to have issues that could potentially be costly. I still have the '98 Expy so I'm not totally out of it, it was just time to get rid of mine.

I got the whole grill including the headlight surrounds, you could probably get away with just the insert but if you are going to the junk yard you might as well take the whole grill

Cleaned her up and took the family to the beach for the day, my daughter got to feel sand on her feet for the first time and see the water, she just turned 7 months.

with all the work I've done to the expedition it provided the nicest ride you could ask with both ac zones cranked I couldn't believe the milage increase I got from my recent overhaul I was really happy

Took her to work today. There are some engine brackets (not the mounts) I should install eventually.
