I purchased my truck with recessed headlights and a phantom billet grill of which i sold. I ordered the 95 and newer chrome grill and have to unrecess my headlights. Since i didn't do it to begin with i don't know what i have to do to undo it. Can anyone give me a run down on what needs to be removed to get to the bolts to do this? Thanks

The headlight buckets were probably cut and moved to the inside of the rad support in order to recess them. Try moving them to the outside and it should hold. If not then you will need new buckets.

I understand that part but looks like alot of stuff in the way (air box, battery, etc.) just wondering what i had to remove to get to the bolts on the buckets.

He bolted them with the bolt coming through the support towards the grill

I charged him 30 aswell, when i listed it ebay made me do a quote on it but since i didn't know who's zip code it was going to i listed it as mine. I will get it out today to you so you should see it real soon. I will email you the tracking number. It is a very nice grill.
