We thought it looked great. But I do see what you mean. We might do that on the next one.

So, I'm about to start the install of the grille and lights. I have a question about wiring the grille LED lights. My harness has the connectors to the lights but the other end just has a black and red cable. I have the 2016 with the LED headlights. Do you guys know to what cable I need to connect the red and black cable?
Thanks in advance!

Red is power or hot, black is ground. You can get a fuse tap to pull power from the fuse block and ground the black wire to an existing grounding point (or the battery).

Several folks have tapped in to fuse #97 under the hood for power. Autozone or another parts store should carry a fuse tap that should make it easier and cleaner to install.

Got the grille installed but I still can't figure out how to get the lights to work.

Anybody have any pics of the tapped fuse?

i used the driver side headlamp wiring. if you take out the air filter box (removing 2 bolts), you can unplug the wiring to the headlight. splice into the 3rd wire from the right or the blue/grey wire. I used a t-tap to splice in. it all took maybe 20 mins. check out this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz7K...ature=youtu.be
