Not without modification. Check the DIY section for how to do it.
Short answer, no.

Supposedly its doable. Other than 4.5 headlights and corners a couple wire harnesses are needed.

Im gonna be attempting it this spring since I can get new gen 4.5 corners and headlights all for only 100$. And well more importantly my current headlights are pathetic.

I know that wiring them up seems not to be an issue, and well I don't think fitment will be that horrible either.

All you need is couple of adapters for the wiring harness, gen 4.5 corners n headlights, as for the bumper cover...well you have a choice, It looks better finished with a gen 4.5 bumper, however, the gen 4 bumper can be cut n modified to fit the new headlights...i've done both scenarios, n i'm happier with the gen 4.5 bumper

Do you think you could post what kind of connectors were needed/ where they can be bought?

Thanks
