Loosen about 10-12 tabs to remove the factory grill. This is a pain.

That is a fantastic grille with the lighted feature , "RTR". It goes well with the over all look of your sweet Mustang. You are one of the first to install this sweet MOD. Great work Ed......

I would to see more about the process and if anything was particularly difficult or tricky.

This is the AM kit right? Any plans on putting on an emblem?

This looks better than I thought it would from the AM pictures. Not sure how good it would look on lighter color vehicles.

Looks awesome. Do they come on with running lights, how bright are they in comparison to fog or headlights, do they dim with headlights?

This is the AM kit. I would suggest video by arctic knight on the regular grill and removal. Not particularly difficult, just a few things that were time consuming: Taking off OEM grill and getting all those tabs to loosen, drilling the 3 holes on each side of the grill and try not to get too close to the edge, and connecting the wiring from the grill to the headlight socket. (view isn't the greatest more feel)

Thanks. They come on as soon as you press the start button and you can have all the lights on; fogs, LEDs, headlights and switchbacks. They are brighter than the foglight but not too bright. They do not dim at all.

You said you need to drill holes... Hmm I already have the RTR grille. I can take the bumper off again, but taking the grille off will be a pain in the ass.. It was extremely time consuming to take the stock one off and this RTR grille went on even tighter. Not sure if I want to attempt taking it back off.

If I was to leave the grille attached, will I have any issues drilling the holes?

You would need to take off the grill.
