Please help, I am willing to change the bumper, grill and headlights if needed,

Also, if some one has done it before please share pictures.
And if you have the specs/dimensions of the LIMITED 2016 would help me to compare too.

Thanks!

The headlights will 100% work on your 2012 Ram but you will need to buy an adapter from JJ at RetroShop.

The grille won't fit unless you also put the bumper on. If the bumper bolts up and fits, the grille will also fit, but if the bumper does not fit then the grille will also not fit as the 09-12 grilles have different corners than the 13+. But like I said, if someone else can answer if the bumper will fit for sure, then you will know that the grille will fit also.

May I ask what part of the 2016 front end are you most trying to swap? The lights? The grille? Or the bumper?

Because if you are only really looking to swap the lights that can be done without swapping the grille or bumper.

If your doing the swap because you like the look of the 2016 limited grille, that grille can be bought on eBay in a version made to fit 09-12 Rams. This way if all you wanted to do was swap the grille, it can be done without having to swap the lights and bumper

If your doing the swap mainly for the looks of the bumper, then yea, you will also have to swap the grille aswell.

The grill on the 2013 and up rams is actually taller than the 2009 to 2012 rams so like stated above, to put that grill on any pre 2013 ram the bumper Needs to be swapped as well
