The hood is a direct bolt on and any flat hood will work, the grill needs to be changed. I cut down a grill off an earlier DL with a flat hood to fit the 4 lamp system, the how to is on the site.

If you want the proper grill you can get them from the dealer $$$$$ or have one shipped from a country where the flat hood was used with the euro style lamps, I've seen some on ebay from Down Under as well as the other side of the pond. You can find the grills in U-Pulls, I've got one on the shelf I'm saving for my next project but they are rare.

I've heard the bumpers are switchable, someone who has experience will no doubt help with that.
