BEWARE!
If the screws are too big, they will crack the
plastic mounting bosses on the grill.
#6 or #8s are about the right size.
The OEM screws wont work on aftermarket grills
and will cause the mounting bosses to crack.
Measure the hole in the boss and get a
stainless steel screw with a body of the
same size as the hole.

from my understanding no fog lights have ever been mounted on the grille so do you think i need self tapping or just regular screws..and its from NTO

what happened was he ordered foglights and they accidently sent him a grille that he didnt need so i bought it...thats my understanding

That's what the dealership told me and i told him but home depot doesn't carry them. Get #8 x 3/4 inch self tapping screws and a #10 spacer for between the screw and top of fog light. Pm if you need any more help and In means defense I just told him this a couple minutes ago
