Is this the stock bumper and grill or are they aftermarket? Maybe get a picture of what the truck looks like. It appears they are requiring you to remove the bumper to replace it but let's get a picture of the bumper and the lamps so we can get on the same page. Thanks

Hello, I'm Danny.
No, you don't have to remove the grille. You should have enough room to remove the lenses to replace the bulbs without having to remove the bumper guard. You might have to do some wiggling and manipulation to get them out. Here is our sites tutorial on how to change them:
