Not to mention the yellow with age you get from plastic.

That would be my goal, is to get away from the yellowing plastic lens. Mine actually aren't too bad, but now would be the best time to change while my grille is still off the vehicle.

I got my new pigtails from NAPA after fighting poor connections with the old ones for a couple of years.

Good call on the pigtails. I knew they had to be changed, as the lighting styles are different, but getting new stuff makes good sense. Thanks for the info about the other stuff needed for the swap.
