First, open the engine bay bonnet. Locate the position of the six clips that hold the grille in place within its housing.

Using a screwdriver, remove them carefully to avoid scratching the grille. Once done, pull the top of the grille towards you, rotating it around the lower base.

Now you can replace, for example, the headlamp bulb by turning its connector 90° clockwise and refitting it by following the reverse procedure. This maintenance operation was performed on a Jeep Wrangler.
