I just bought a new chrome billet grille for my 85 k10 truck. I am wondering how the park lights mount to the new grille. Any input would be very helpful, thanks.

You have to cut the original tabs off the housings, then drill a small hole at the bottom for the screw.

Mine came with mounting tabs, at the bottom of the grill.

Has anyone used the Phantom T-rex grill that covers the headlights. I'm looking at getting one. How much cutting or mods have to be made?

I've never heard of many fitament problems with the Phantom grills, just that lots of people don't like them. I don't care much for them because I like unrestricted lighting. I aslo don't like smoke lenses. :flipthebird:

I think the phantom grill takes away the classy chevy look of the headlight bezels. I was gonna put one on my truck, and decided not. hotrod is right, unrestricted lighting is very important. i have a regular billet on mine, and i love it. I just wish it would have come with a billet bowtie.

I bet a blue bowtie with the chrome outline would look sweet on there. Looks awesome either way though. :drool:
