I suppose not. The one video didn’t even show those. The others, I wasn’t sure to stick screwdriver in top and push or under.
So, bottom, screwdriver goes on top to push down and headlights, goes in what side of tab and push or pull?
Really appreciate the diagram...
push toward the outside of the truck. i went parallel to the grill in front of the headlight liners.
one other trick..in the video they show putting the flat divider back in after you clip the grill back in. it's much easier to slide it in before and then snap the grill in.

Thanks! Would have been easier than wrestling against the radiator. My hands look like I was wrestling with a pit bull.

Installed the grille yesterday and damn u guys are damn right those tabs are a pain in ...I got very frustrated and unfortunately I had to yank the grille n in proces broke 2 of them.
But then after installing the lights n grille I felt better that I was able to accomplish this at the end.
Thanks to all those who helped here.

I only broke one side tab on the original grill. I had no problem after I rewatched JoshMills’ video, and replicated using a stubby screwdriver on the INSIDE of the tabs.

I started painting my new grille. I pick my new truck up on Monday, so it will be the first mod. I still have work to do... gonna paint the surface of the letters gloss black and leave the red outline and then I'm painting the border of the grille either magnetic, like the rest of the truck trim, or gloss black. I haven't decided that yet.

LOL I shamelessly stole your entire writeup down to the lights and brackets.... Made it too easy. . .

Installed the grille. Missing the "Inline" splice to get power... but it's ready.
