| I don't think there is one. But it's easy. Just take the bumper off and you'll figure it out when you see it. I didn't have a hard time when I installed mine. Just be careful not to break/snap any clips. :) |

indeed, removing the entire bumper just to install vrd grills is a bit ridiculous. It'd be like pulling the motor to do an oil change lol |

I made the mistake of removing my entire front bumper one time just to remove the headlights ..... not worth the frustration of putting back on as there are annoying clips that dont seem to work back on as well. |
