What are the Difference's Between Orig and Facelift?

Since I am going to have to replace my bumper cover this year (Sooonnnn), what obstacles will face me if I update my 03 to a facelift front end?

Are the headlights the same?
I assume the mounting is the same.
I figure I will need new running lights..
 
Not sure if cj10jeeper lucked out on that bumper but ever since he's posted that DIY I haven't been able to find a 06+ front bumper on ebay. There was one up a few weeks ago but it's condition was terrible. :cry:

I beg to differ on 2 points:
1) all headlights are exactly the same profile so unless you are suggesting cosmetically that you need clear lens '05 lights then they are not needed. Originals work just fine
2) The kidney grilles are identical, however the lower mesh is required.

Traxxer - Yes - I probably did - especially as it was a collect only from less than 5 miles away from my house out of the entire country and cost only around £40 ($80) :) :)

Thats what I needed to here. No new headlights.

If I could find a facelift bumper for $80.00 I'd get two of them! I've actually been looking for both a M bumper and the facelift, no luck yet.
 
Could someone post pics for me of a facelift bumper and the M bumper (or was it the aero kit bumper) side by side?
