    Pretty easy to do, taking them apart was the hardest part...(i did manage to stab my arm with a screwdriver while taking them apart though):rolleyes:

    This is why i was taking my headlights apart in the first place:

    thanks, yeah i did everything today. I'm trying to go with a different look for the truck... I'm gonna tint the tail lights very soon too... and window tint...I guess i'm tired of chrome...;)

    you can't really see the back of the grill once it's on the truck... I would gut it but the back of the grill still has to be there...(it's a bolt-over grill)
