Hey,
If you look at the halo housing it has those two 'fingers' sticking out with rectangular holes in them. The grill mounts to this.
To remove the grill you need a needle nose pliars. Just pinch the plugs in the 5 mounting points and the grill falls out (two by each headlamp, and one behind the 'nissan' emblem in the grille). Then just plug the grill back into its new mounts which are on the headlamps. Only the bottom mount is not used any more on each side. If you do have a 5mm clearance problem, just shave down where the grille meets the lower 'finger' on the headlamp with a nail file.

As for all the coments on the lights, well, I like good lighting at night. Fog lights I've needed for a while, and the dricing lights were an experiment to see if there is really a difference than with good brights. I first got them finally installed (mainly me with help from random shops to grind out the bumper for clearance) I'm not sure yet so I haven't had any experience. Plus since everyone says the beam pattern of the halo's suck, I have backup in bad situations. But seriously, everyone needs a good set of lights for the night. Now I got em.

P.S. On the highway at night its like a UFO probably. Plus now I can chase down cops.
