IDEA! Thinking about having the F-Sport Grille put in when the dealer installs the new (replacement lights). The OEM grill comes out for the install, I believe so I should have very little, if any labor costs (I have a great dealer who gets it). Can anyone confirm - the grille comes out for this Service Bulletin? Thanks
The whole bumper not just the grill has to come off to change the lights.

The whole bumper comes off, the grille stays on (the bumper), but it would be much easier for them to change the grille with the bumper off. They probably won't charge much to change the grille at the same time, but no the grille is not normally touched when replacing the headlights.
somebody post some pics I want to see the new glossy black housing
Did you look at post #227 in this very thread ...??

As mentioned ealier, the material that was having a problem was updated to the same glossy black paint that is used inside the rest of the light housings..
UPDATE - Dealer agreed to match Sewell (who I'd buy from if I could get the dealer to install a BYO) and install F-Sport Grille for $56.00 when doing the light replacement. I took a before picture of the bubbling light (at night). I will take an after picture and if different - will post.... Damn, mod bug.
I thought while they had the bumper off to do the lights - it would easier........I haven't had it done yet, just asked how much they would charge me to do it....

It's super easy. Just follow the DIY (easy to find by searching)...
does anyone has a side by side comparison of the pre-updated headlights with the recalled ones? i curious to know how much "brighter / whiter" are the LED's
^^^ Good call. I am wondering the same thing. I had my headlights replaced and I swear they are brighter and a different color slightly, but I'm curious how they compare.
FYI for All...
