The other way is to pop the grill out from behind. Once the hood is open there is a strip of rubber weatherstripping closest to the front of the car - a few feet long. Remove this to reveal 6 screws and 4 plastic push-type fasteners. Remove those then you should be able to pull the bumper out a bit and get your hand behind the grills. Work each clip and you're done. I did my 2013 like this and it was about a 30 minute job, but when attempting this on my 2015 I there was something preventing me from getting my hands behind the grills and I ended up doing the pull method.
On my 2015 with night vision, I was unable to do a complete grill swap and ended up keeping the inside parts of the 2015 grill intact and just swapped the surround bezels with my other set.
Hope this helps.
