What is required as far as hardware and conversion, to make a 71-72 hidden headlight grille work on a '73 Charger?

I just did this conversion on my 74 from a 72. If you have the complete hideaway system to include the bumper it's not to bad. The only thing I did that required cutting was to elongate the mounting holes of the bumper  brackets to the frame so I could slide the bumper in and get rid of the front fillers. The top brackets did not require cutting either.
Once you have them layed out side by side it is pretty simple.
Do you have the motor and relays?
