Question front clip removal..

ok 2 questions:

1) how do I take the front clip or the grill and remove it? I want to install my lights and will need to remove this piece to put them in.

and

2) where is the best spot to run wires from the engine compt. to the inside of the cab? most spots I found were tight and couldnt squeeze anything through there.

On my 97, I ran the power from the battery through the plastic tube just under the windshield wipers with the rest of the wires into a plug by the brake booster... Worked great and looks factory... Wire was then wrapped in the protective crap for $1.99 for 10 feet. Menards has the cheapest wiring stuff, and by cheap, I don't mean junk. $3.00 less a pack of electrical connectors, cheaper shrink tubing, etc.
