[QUOTE="Anybodyhome, post: 445667, member: 19161"] On the OEM headlights there are square tabs on the black plastic housing that fit into matching notches in the headlight housing in the grille to keep it lined up. On the OEM there are a distinct passenger and driver side headlight. The aftermarket are identical, not left/right or passenger/driver. So, you have to shave a portion of one of the tabs off so it'll fit. Nothing a box cutter and 30 seconds didn't fix. Here's a still I took from a You Tube with the tab inserts in the grill pictured (driver side): [ATTACH type="full"]120660[/ATTACH] Different video, but rear of headlight showing the tabs: [ATTACH type="full"]120661[/ATTACH] Watch this You Tube beginning at the 10 minute mark for a better explanation: [MEDIA=youtube]nnT3eSLrvD0[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
