Gen5 gen 5 to 5.5 conversion question

I tried searching, but no luck.
My grille is getting kind of torn up from 75K of highway miles, and I'd like to switch to the gen 5.5 grille and headlights. I figure if I'm doing that, I may as well switch out the taillights, too. The headlights are obviously not going to be plug and play, since there's more bulbs, different locations, etc. What about the grille and the taillight? How much knowledge is involved in doing the switch?

Tail lights are also plug and play. There were posts on this long ago and a few people have done it. So I guess the only problem you'll need to worry about are the front headlights.

The taillights and the grille fits perfectly. The headlights will fit too but you'll have one empty socket which is the parking lights at the sides. The signal bulb is also located more towards the inside part of the headlights.

You can still use the headlights, but you won't have the parking lights. That's all.

The grille is $140 + tax at the dealers
The headlights are $220 each
The Tailights are $250 each. Might as well get SE lights and tailights. THe SE Tailights have a darker tint to them. Heck, if I were you, I'll get SE Parts all around. Same price, why not?

I tried it when I first got my Gen 5.5. My dad drives a Gen 5 so I had no problem testing the parts out if they'll fit or not.
