I've got 2 sets of headliners, neither has the holes you mention. and no screw holes evident. I may have to just drill them myself.

Anyone post a pic of the holes in the front headliner frame?

Thanks Chuck.
Find the screw holes in the flat panel toward the back of the front section before you offer it up in the car. There is a larger hole for the wires in the center.

Feed the wires for the lamp through the front part as you fit it in. Once in you can screw the light in place.

Don't remember, but don't think so. It will be obvious once you have the rear piece in place.

I"ll check the overlap but  do the screws for the lamp housing don't joint front and rear frames,?

After the front section is in place, the light get mounted on the front.

Thanks Chuck.

Does the interior light get fixed to the rear or front section of the headliner?

I"m thinking the rear goes in first then the front. 

Can someone correct me if I"m wrong?
