Remove Plastic Grill around Fog Lights????
I want to remove the grill around my fog lights to get at the glass and polish the scratches out. Tried to do it without removing the grill and the polish got stuck in the grooves of the plastic.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

You need to go in behind the grill, John. As I recall, you need to remove the plastic pan to gain access to the rear of the light. Once this is done, the grill is easily removed being held in place by tabs on the grill itself. Be careful not to force the grill as they are not cheap (ask me how I know).

I was afraid of that. Do you mean I need to remove the wheel well plastic area? Or go in through the Panels underneath the fog lamps?
Im glad I checked....I was going to force them out.
So Jud, Ill ask you...How do you know?

It's the plastic panel that spans the underneath of the front of the car under the bumper (cover). There are a half dozen cap screws holding it in place. I had to replace my middle piece as a result of it being hit by some road debris. It retails for about $100 as I recall.
