Yeah on the 99-03 style you don't have to take headlights off and there are tabs on the back you push on the pop the grille piece out

Well how do you take the corner lenses out without removing the heads?

There's a screw on top of the corners, take it out and slide the housing straight out

It's pretty simple there are some like plastic pieces on the bottom of the grille shroud that have those little push in tabs that you have to almost break to get to come off but other that it's simple like 10 to 15 minutes I'm gonna be doing it here soon so I can put fogs behind the grille

This is my grille. I took it off and it looks to be one piece it has nothing on the back where it would seperate. What should I do now? order a whole new grille? or is there a different route.

Ok you have the original style 97 grille.... On those you do have to replace the entire thing.

Ok you can either get this http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...id=73642113571
Or go find a grille with the honey comb center that has a surround that matches your truck and put one of these in ithttp://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=230634225134&index=9&nav=SEARCH&ni d=31015967520

I think the second option would look the best.

Either way should look better. Those bar grilles are my least favorite that they put on these trucks
