grill and bezels

headlight grills are just 3 screws, and on the grill, i used a small flathead screwdriver and a flashlight to look into the holes to see the clips. just pry down on one end (gently) while pulling on the grill (also gently) and it will come right off.

Remove the side marker lights - Undo the little clips with a small flathead screwdriver, expect some to break... Mine is held on by 2
