    Installation pics. There is no tab at the bottom to mount into the holes in the rock guard. Also, it appears that the grill is made to hang under the mounting tabs, not on top of them like the stock ones. The holes all line up top and bottom. Then the two center screw holes are not used, but there are a couple of tabs with rubber bumpers on them to keep rattling at bay.

    Pics are of top screw mounts, top rubber bumpered mounts, bottom screw mount, bottom bumpered tabs, and front view (in garage, not outside yet, too cold, and I have a sore throat).

    when you say..."completely"...as in don't work at all with the headlights on...
    if so could it be a wiring thing?
    did he install one of these?...*Requires use of LED flasher part # 3713382L (2 or 3 prong)

    no i meant with the headlights you can see the turn signals bc the headlights eclipse them. the turn signals were still on bright but another driver would never see em.
