    Yes modifying is necessary. I just bent the release a bit for it to clear and be accessible.

    They're headlights from one of our new garbage trucks from work. The running lights went out on them so I tore them apart and retrofit them into the 1st gen headlights.

    This is what the originally look like20200505_093406.jpg

    looks great with the new headlights. this may be what finally tears me away from the stock first gen grill. i love the stock look but this, combined with my ARB bumper, could really look great.

    anyways, nice job:hattip:.

    I've been looking into doing the whole Satoshi grill mod, good to have another clean option on the list! Thanks for the write up
