Lol, I know what ya mean. No trick I know of. Just make sure you get em in the slots. Flash light can help you see to guide it in.

I take the grill off. It makes it so much easier because you can see what you are doing.

I just made the holes on the bottom bigger. That seemed to help a lot.

I've also always just taken off the grille, that way, and take the headlight, and put the feet of the headlight assembly into the core support holes first, and then go ahead and push the headlight up towards the core support, and snap the clips onto them..

Theres a trick to getting them in. Once you figure it out they pop in simple as pie every time. Even with my bent frame where my passenger side one doesn't go in easy because the front is not straight I can now get it back in 1 2 3. Just have a little patients. Also I found if you have aftermarket headlights sometimes they have unnecessary plastic that can be cut off on the tabs so they will slide in easier. I had to do this to my buddys blazer because I could not get them back in for the life of me.
