You don't have to remove the grill to remove head lights.

Unscrew the headlight surrounds first and they pull off, the grill then has a few screws on it and will come out too. Don't remove the grill first as it sits behind the headlight surrounds and will break if you pull on it too much.

You can pull the grill and headlight equipment in under 20 minutes. The hardest part of the harness install is getting the plugs routed through the tight areas.

Remove the headlight surrounds first, then 4 screws across the top to remove the grille. It is attached by 4 "hooks" at the bottom and the whole thing just rotates down for removal.

i personally think they look bad *** when u have bumpers done... stock looking not to much of a fan... it gives it that added aggression once ur lifted and bumpers which i have neither.
