[QUOTE="J DAMAGE, post: 578240, member: 7219"] Here's a few pictures of the hood vent, hood vent hard wear, and veiw of what it looks like, will replace these pictures with better ones,this was mock up and placement, nothing hard wired yet, the flash killed out the true look. To remove the hood vent, you have to remove the heat shield from under the hood, remove all the plastic push rivets, the 2 lower ones next to the hood hinges have to be pulled with the heat shield they have clips on the back of them, keeping them in the heat shield. Now you will see the 10mm nut holding the center of the vent ( remove ) and close hood, Now with a small pry bar/ prying tool, ( tape it up) not to scratch your paint, and place a rag or card board between tool and hood for back up, start at back side of vent ( windshield side ) pull up and start to pry, you will need to aply pressure to make the clips pop free, but don't get crazy just work your way around vent. After you remove the vent, there will be 5 plastic cips that pop out of the vent, you need to remove them from the hood and place back in the vent, CAUTION, they will come out, but there a BITCH, and there are very thin rubber washers on them, you will destroy some if not all, this is the hardest part of the whole job. After that, have at it, install your lights, cut bigger vent hole or add more holes like ( WIZ1500 ) did, your call, have fun. Hope the pictures help and explan what your gonna see. ( NOTE# YOU CAN NOT SEE THE VENT LIGHT FROM IN THE TRUCK, NO GLARE). [/QUOTE]
