As for the grille you need to pull it off the surround via the tabs on the back, then slide off the chrome strips and paint the grille with a spray can.
Here is one of mine
Before
After
to the right of A and the left of B you will see two large circular things, these have bulbs in them. You can replace them but the light will still seem dull but it will provide better light depending what you put into it.
