No screws, those screws are to adjust the headlights. There are the 4 plastic clips up top and like 5 push in clips along the bottom. Undo the top, grab and pull straight out. It should just pop off.

I have my factory one if you need one. I put in an aftermarket gray one. I didn't like the chrome.

I took it off and painted it matte black. Thanks for the help and the offer! Unfortunately I read your post on my phone as soon as I realized my lights seemed to not extend out as far as the light it throws out goes. I messed with those screws before I knew that they weren't for the grille and now it messed it all up so now I need help on how to fix my headlights' adjustments back to normal! haha

Stupid Grill Clips / Fasteners

Alright,

I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but how that is seems to elude me.

How exactly do you re-install the upper grill clips / fasteners?



BTW - I took the grill off to polish the headlights... do you see a difference?



TIA

I didn't try this but put the clips in the grill first, then try pushing the clips into the holes. If you have to reinstall them the way you took them out then it will be a pain in the ***. Just try and keep the clip from rotating in the hole while you are trying to twist the square and line it up with the grill.

The square "head" of the clip should be all the way through the hole in the grill and rotated 45* when it's in properly, eh?

I can't see anyway to get the square head through far enough with the clip floppin' around in the body. I'm struggling just to get the head through the grill hole with the clip not installed in the body yet.

Ok, I got it figured out. Instead of trying to install the clips into the grill and the body with the lower half of the grill already installed. The trick is to take the whole grill off, install the upper square head clips / fasteners and then push the whole thing in as a unit back onto the body.

DOH!
