I also upgraded to a 2008 onwards front bar, and they go on easy, but the grille cut outs are different. If you get a bar from a later model you need the grille as well, other than that, everything bolts up. In fact, I had no fog lights and the bar I picked up did, and when I plugged the lights in (same plug) I had working fig lights so I was happy with my cheap bar upgrade.

so you can swap to 2011 lights without changing the grill and frontbar?
cheers

I have just finished this today, will post photos shortly
The original guard stay brackets are spot welded to the radiator support, and need to be drilled off, reshaped, and welded back on about an inch higher. It took me about and hour to do both sides. There may be other differances between the radiator supports, as i dont have access to the newer type at the moment, but this is the only thing that stops this from being a bolt on swap.
The bonnet bolts straight on, and headlights clear the guard stays after modification.
I have an ARB Sahara bullbar, and i ended up adjusting it right forward and right down, giving an extra 15-20 mm clearance to guards/headlights. Some triming will be required for the grill, and i need to get a facelift bumper to trim a proper infill panel to suit. I used one from a toyota bullbar and im not completely happy with it.
