    you will need to take the front grill off and you might need to take the bumper off. There is this one clip in that's a bitch to get to and it would help tremendously to take the whole front bumper off. Tried taking my headlights out and I couldn't due to that single clip

    No I was installing these and the little fan behind the light wouldn't go in with the headlights on so I ended up just pulling on the headlights just enough so I could get them in and it worked
