The items you'll need for this repair include: Phillips head screwdriver

First, you'll want to remove the air outlet bezel. You can use plastic trim tools available at 1AAuto.com so it doesn't mar your finish here. Slide it in. The clip’s on there, right in the side, so you want to slide it down, pull out, and twist. Then pull straight out and your louvre comes off.

Then there's two tabs at the top of each side. Push down on the tabs as you push out, and this whole panel comes out. Then you can disconnect the leads on here and this one here has a tab. The headlight switch is held in with three Phillips screws, and we'll remove those. With the screws out, pull it straight out and off.

To reinstall, just make sure your graphics are on top. With the locating tabs, it only really goes in one way. And reinstall your three screws. Reconnect your headlight harness. Reconnect your dimmer harness. Two tabs at the bottom, those go in place first. Then push that in place and the little dimples at the top should be on top so you can see them. Put your AC duct grate in place.
