Thread: How to remove grille from MY12 L322

Powerful UK website has a heap of how to videos for the L322. No 10 is the grill. Link below.

I tried the procedure shown without success but perhaps there's a knack to unlatching the side hooks before the centre hook so I'll have another attempt.

The demonstrators grill will have been taken out previously. I'm sure it will not be as easy as that when it first comes out.

I fitted HIDs to the high beams without removing the lights but they're too low. I need to remove the lights to see if the globes aren't sitting properly or if some special adjustments are needed as the low beam cut-off and the bi-xenon high beam are about right.

Pardon? What do you mean? My car has the biXenon package......how do you fit HID to it and why would you Graeme? Piccies?

A HID kit fitted in place of the high-beam-only H7 halogens. They produce a lot more light - fitted them to the D4 for a great improvement. Being HID they're a little slow to get to full brightness from cold but the bi-xenon high beam does a reasonable job on its own during the warm-up time.

A hole needs to be cut in the plastic dust covers for the wires to and from an externally mounted ballast and their grommet. I'll take some pics when I pull the lights out.

Mine's grille needs to have its bottom edge pulled directly forwards, one side then the other to release 4 clips after having removed the top centre screw and loosened the outside 2. The headlights seem to require the bumper to be removed at least to some degree as the bottom edge of the light assemblies tuck behind the bumper. A clip low on the outside edge of the light needs to be pulled directly forwards but is inhibited by the bumper.

I'm following this thread with interest Graeme. Drove home from the north west last night, kangaroos everywhere. The standard high beams just don't have the grunt for peace of mind. Which is why I hate driving in the bush at night. Avoid it wherever possible.
