The front grill is easy and painless, getting to the fog light trim is also easy just takes some time. Lots of screws and pressure clips. You just have to take off the bumper cover.

Back of the bumper

All screws and clips are out. Also the air dam between the bumper and grill is out.

There are tabs holding the silver trim on, just press against them and push.

Exactly what my wife wants me to do on hers. What paint did you use? Clearcoat? How is it holding up (bugs, washing, etc)? Thanks!

Today I finally swapped out the fog light bezel on my JL Sahara. I purchased these from Justforjeeps.com. This was not an easy job. A lot of screws and clips. If I had to do it again, I would paint the existing bezels directly on the bumper. I even had a few screws left over after putting back the bumper cover. With that being, I LOVE THE LOOK!!!

There was a guy who posted swapping out the bezels without taking off the bumper cover. He took the clips off just the ends and was able to manipulate them out.

2018 JLU Sahara... preceded by 2012 JKU Sahara, Multiple CJ's, TJ's even XJ, WJ & WK2... yup, Always loved my jeeps :)
Love the finish @LouNYC - Curious, did you buy just the fog light bezels from justforjeeps.com.... Or were you able to find black grill inserts also? (Or did you paint the insert) I've considered the grill inserts and then to buy the satin black grill from mopar... but like the idea of keeping my granite grill and changing out / painting the silver.

Thanks. I purchased inserts for grill and bezel. The bezel's were not that easy to swap out but doable. Good luck.
