I put them on mine without removing anything except the radiator support cover that spans the whole width of the truck and put my ballast under there! Just make sure to remove the plastic clear washer and install them like normal. Might have to contortion your hand a bit but it's fairly straight forward.

Don't forget to remove your DRL fuses.

When I put mine in I removed the radiator cover, grill and both headlights. Made hiding the ballasts way cleaner.

^^ this. it's a tight fit but your hand can make it behind there. I think I undid the bolt for the washer fluid also if I remember right

When I get a new grill or finally venture into clearing my headlights or doing a retro fit mod I will re wire mine and hide them better I think.
