Re oving the grille:
Before beginning the steps below, turn off the vehicle, re ove key, and engage the e ergency brake.
1. Open hood of truck and ake sure hood is held open securely.
2. Re ove the black plastic radiator cover (shown in picture 1). The panel is attached by 11 plastic
pins. The pins are re oved by prying up on center part and then prying up on the body of the pin.
See picture 2. Save pins and black panel for re-installation later.
3. Re ove the 2 bolts (7 ) that attach the headlight tri panels to the wheel well on each side of
the truck. Set aside for re-install later. See picture 3.
4. So e odels have factory fender flares. The fender flares are held on by clips. You can loosen the
fender flare enough (for headlight tri panel re oval) without co pletely re oving it. Si ply
pull outward (towards you) on the front part of the fender flare until the first 2 clips unsnap.
5. Re ove headlight tri panels on each side of the truck. Start on the inside at the top and work
your way down and toward the outer corner of the headlight. There are clips holding the panel in
place. You will hear ‘popping’ sounds as the clips disengage. This is nor al. If you encounter a
lot of resistance, check to ake sure wheel well hardware has been re oved as well as the outer
push pins re oved in step 2 above. See picture 4.
6. Re ove the 4 bolts (10 ) located below the radiator cover we re oved in step 2. These bolts
hold on the grille and active shutter syste . See arrows in picture 5 below.
Re ove black panel shown. Save 11
retaining pins for re-install later.

Re ove headlight tri starting at
inside top and finish at wheel well.
Re ove 4 – 10 bolts and then
re ove 4 push-pins circled above.
Use pliers to pull the large push-pins
straight up and out of grille.
7. Using a pair of pliers, re ove the 4 large push-pins located on the outer edge of the grille. See the
circled push-pins in picture 5. See picture 6 for a close up view.
8. Unplug the 2 electrical connectors located near the hood latch.
9. Re ove the 2 – 8 bolts that hold on the botto part of the grille. One is located on each side.
See Picture 7.
10. Re ove the 6 push-pins that hold the rubber insulation/ shield to the grille. There are 3 push-pins
on each side. See picture 8. These push-pins are ribbed so they will be tougher to re ove than the
others.
11. Now that you have re oved all of the hardware holding the grille/ active shutters to the truck, you
can carefully lift the grille UP and OFF the truck. If you get any significant resistance, check to
ake sure all hardware has been re oved in steps 1 through 9.
12. Make sure you have a soft, flat surface to place the grille on such as a large piece of cardboard or
towel. Place the grille face down on said surface. Be careful to prevent scratches.
13. Using a 10 deep well socket, re ove the three nuts on the botto of the grille/ active shutters.
Be very careful as these nuts are attached to plastic studs. See picture 9 below.
14. Re ove the 8 screw in the center of the grille. It sits directly behind the Ford e ble . See
picture 10 below for arrow pointing to the location of the screw.
15. There are 4 – 10 nuts that need to be re oved at each corner of the grille (see the circled areas
in picture 10 below). These nuts attach to bolts/ u-clips that are attached to the grille. During
re oval you ay find that using a finger to hold the u-clips will help you re ove the nuts ore
easily.
16. Now, lift the active shutter asse bly off of the grille carefully and sit it off to the side.
Re ove the 2 – 8 bolts on each
botto corner of the grille.

Re ove 8 center screw and 4
10 nuts on each corner of grille.
Slide L-Bracket up or down to adjust
height of light bar. Then tighten nuts.
Position as shown to deter ine
desired height of L-Brackets.
Installing the Light Bar:
1. Mount the 2 L-brackets to the light bar with the included stainless steel hardware. The inner ost
holes on the light bar will be the ones used. The set of holes near the flat edge of the light bar
(used in picture 11) will be used on all grilles except the XLT sport grille. Tighten the hardware
just enough so that you can adjust the L-brackets to the desired height. See picture 11 & 12. Once
you deter ine where you want the light bar to sit behind the grille, use a 10 socket and wrench
to fir ly tighten the hardware. The brackets allow adjustability for all factory grilles –You’ll want
to adjust the L-Brackets so that the lights are visible when secured to the grille. Note: XLT Sport
grilles will need to flip the L-brackets upside down to be visible at the top slot of the grille. You’ll
also need to use the botto set of ounting holes. Picture 13 shows how the L-brackets should be
oriented and which holes on the light bar should be used.
2. Once you have attached the L-brackets, lay the grille face down (Ford e ble face down) on a
soft surface. Position the Light Bar in its approxi ate final ounting location with the lights
facing down.
3. Re-install the active grille shutters onto the back of the grille.
4. Locate 2 of the large push-pins you re oved with pliers during ‘Re oving the Grille’ section on
Page 1 – Step 6. These will be re-installed in the holes shown in picture 14. This picture shows the
top of the Grille/ Active shutters. The push-pins will be inserted through these holes and into the
holes located on the L-brackets.
5. To do this, you’ll need to carefully stick your hand through the active grille shutters to line the top
of the L-bracket up with the push-pin. Once the push-pin is through the hole, push the top of the
pin in to lock the Light bar into place. Repeat on the other side.
6. Check Light Bar to ake sure it is secure.
7. Route the wiring out of the top of the grille/ active shutter asse bly. Be sure it will not interfere
with shutter operation.
8. Re-install all hardware on the grille/ active shutters. Once you have done that, re-install the grille
onto the truck.
Connecting the Wiring:
Wiring will vary depending on the type of headla ps you have. If you have the standard headla ps
(halogen with a yellowish appearance), follow step 1 below. If you have the LED headla p package, skip
to step 5.
1. Halogen Headlamps = Locate the a ber running light bulb/ connector behind the headlight on
the passenger side. See picture 15. Please Note: XLT Sport grille owners who flipped the L-
brackets upside down will connect all of their wiring on the driver side.
2. Unplug the connector and carefully pull back the electrical tape to expose the wiring.

down on the wire tap aking sure it snaps closed. Do not cut wire! See picture 16.
Flip the L-Brackets for installation on
XLT Sport grilles.
Use the 2 of the large push-pins to
secure the L-brackets.

connector behind the head light.
4. Now skip to step 9.
5. LED Headlamps = Turn your steering wheel all the way to the left.
6. Pull back the wheel well liner on the passenger side to gain access to the headla p connector. It is
held on by 3 – 5.5 screws.
7. Locate the rectangular connector plugged into the back of your LED headla p. It has 7 wires
co ing out of it. Unplug the connector.
8. Using the supplied red wire tap, slide the Blue wire with Gray stripe (Pin#3) onto the tap. See
picture 16 below. The wire should sit in the iddle of the two teeth. Squeeze down on the wire tap
aking sure it snaps closed. Do not cut wire!
9. Plug the red wire fro the Light Bar wiring into the back of the wire tap. See picture 17.
10. Use an 8 socket or wrench to attach the bla k ground wire to the bolt shown in picture 18
below. Re-attach the bolt so the ring ter inal akes proper contact and the bolt is tight.
