We had a huge snow storm here the last few days and on Christmas eve night i was driving around and slid into a pole. Now i need a new front bumper and headlight. I found this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07-OEM-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-SRT8-Front-Bumper-PAINTED_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33640QQihZ016QQ itemZ260197201527) front bumper online. If you know of any cheaper ones please let me know. I cracked the headlight and I'm wondering if I will need a whole new headlight unit or can i just replace the front lens.

I'm also thinking about possibly upgrading to a new 08 bumper and putting in 08 xenons since i will be replacing them anyways. I don't know where to find 08 headlights or bumper so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Does anyone have a picture of the back of an '08 xenon headlight?? I would like to see if they are the same as '07 and maybe the wiring connector to see if they will match up Im really interested in trying to do the swap since i dont think anyone has ever tried. All i hear is that everyone has "heard" you cant do it because the bumpers are different. Has anyone actually tried it yet?

Since i have to get a new bumper and headlight anyways i might be willing to be the guinea pig. If anyone knows of any link of and blueprints of bumpers and headlight for the '07 and '08 or any other research links. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't speak for your headlight, but I got a rear bumper for my wife's van a couple of years ago from these guys over Ebay.

While not 100% perfect, their paint lasted for over two years with no issues. Her van was dark blue metallic, and while the bumper paint was a shade off, it looked fine in the real world. I recently traded the van, and the appraiser, who was pretty darn picky, did not even notice the bumper had been replaced/painted.

Depending on the color of your truck, Black or Silver should be fine, using these guys should be o.k.; just get all new mounting tabs from Jeep before you install it. Their price also looks pretty good.

Good luck with it.
