Default Help with VRD lower grille, and fogging VRD fog lights

Long story short, someone kicked off my VRD lower grille.

I had the bottom held on with 2 metal clips cuz I was never able to clip the stupid thing in. Well, the idiot broke one of them and made a hole in the bumper from the other one. Ever since I got it, I have NEVER EVER been able to clip all of it in. So, did anyone else have this problem? Everytime it's popped in it pops out the next day.

Next, my stupid VRD fog lights. I put clear silicone and taped the rubber boot, and even sealed it between the actual light and the rubber boot, yet they STILL fogged. It's gotten to the ridiculous point that HALF of it was literally filled with water, and there are a couple rust spots on the back.

Help with either problem is appreciated, I'm starting to hate VRD with a strong burning passion.

Alright so I just threw my old OEM style foglights on, and it seems that the two side clip on that grille, and the 3 top clips won't stay.

PLEASE HELP.

I was not able to get my grill in completely, but it never fell off as a result. The other clips that did grab were able to hold the grill in place just fine. Sorry to hear about what the idiot did, hopefully you can find another set.

i put like 3-4 washers wedged in between the tab of the bumper and the grille. the washer holds all of the tabs tight against the grille and no one will ever see it cuz its on the inside.

glued and zip tied mine

reason why i glued it and zip tied it is bc i have one part of the under engine cover and one of the fender liners so if the grille falls out onto the highway it will likely get crush like my old vrd bottom grille
