    Cut out the old head light brackets on the core support, by drilling out the spot welds. You can buy the new 01-04 headlight bracket from the dealer for 10-15 bucks each side

    Then weld the new brackets on? And then everything is probably simpler after that because that is the problem I am having

    That's something I can do! So just call the dealer and ask for 01 headlight brackets? Great!

    You know? I may just drill through the bracket where the two screws go through. Probably easiest and money effective. Once I get my grill though

    Good news: Grill came in!
    Bad News: Had to go buy fender brackets from the dealership. $64 ugh... This is becoming more monies and time than I wanted. The parts guy was nice and they were for sale for $37 each :eek: but thanks to kevinthefawker he said I could have them for $30 since I had the parts number. Now just gotta wait for those to come in

    To make the grill fit you will have to cut one of the tabs. This is the only one you have to cut as the other fit right into place
