i'm putting on a '08 headlight on my '05 smc as well but will be running HID. i run the edge on the '05 it takes some hacking and fabrication to make it work. the watsen signals friggin amazing!!! and made in Canada :thumbup:Oh... the headlamp is the 08 exc kit... never had any trouble out of the stock smc lamp (other than it looks 100 years old):headscrat As far as the tail goes, its a 05 so aftermarket just won't work out too good back there. Ive done the t/s mod and the lil leds seem to be holding up, the 1157 led is the prob... the diodes keep falling out of the assembly:headscrat
