- Removing the grille on a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL is an easy job that only takes a few minutes. You'll need a flat head screwdriver or a nylon panel tool to remove a series of clips along the top edge of the grill after you open the hood.Then you simply pull the bottom edge of the grill to release the retaining clips.
One of the most popular reasons to remove the grill would be to change a burned out headlight bulb, or if you want to swap out the original headlight assemblies for aftermarket LED headlights.
I can already feel the approach of the cheesy angry birds grills.
I followed how you did it and it worked perfectly. I love the extra tip you gave how to remove the pins by pulling up the grill. Thanks again.
Glad it helped!
AWESOME! Glad the tip helped!
I need to do that to look at my horns they’re not working. How sensitive are those clips. I don’t want to break them when pulling on the grill.
@@MarioRodriguez-gr8wc Well, just tug on the corner of the grills, you don't have to pull hard, just keep tugging giving more force each time, to see if it would pop. I was scared to break them but now I know how much force to use, and they aren't that fragile,
@@walden6272 thanks for the reply. I feel more confident now.
and just like that, replaced my existing one with a satin black one. Took 5 mins. THAT was easy.
Got the Oculus Bi-LED headlights for Christmas. Thanks for the video on how to get the grill off so I can get those bad boys in.
Thank you. I just received my black and white American flag grill insert. Getting ready to install it now. Thank you again.
How about the air flow to the motor with the insert? Will it be reduced too much?
There is a clip below each headlight that is a bastard to release. Also, I put a towel down between the bottom of the grill and top of the bumper so I wouldn’t scratch anything
YES!!! I’m stuck on this right now! How the heck do you do it?! I feel like I’m going to crack my grill
So , how you managed to remove them?
Great! I like the way you demonstrate and explain things…
A TJ video would be pretty useful!
I have a question on grill removal as I am a Wrangler newbie: How many "clamps" secure the bottom of the grill and how do you align them all up before pushing the lower half of grill into place?
I don't have access to an official wrangler jeep store in my town. Incase I break the pressure clips on the grill while pulling, which for some reason gone stiff due to heat and dirt. How do I repair it, as I doubt any adhesive solution that can mend the broken pressure clips.
What do the ones under the headlights look like. Mine dont want to release and I feel like I will ruin the grill if I pull any harder. I would like somewhere to pry but I dont know how it comes apart. Oh and with a real bumper and a winch there is no where for it to move forward.
Just waiting for a clone copy of the grill that fits a jk to come out. You guys would make a killing on a copy grill for the Jk already seen one guy on instagram get a JL grill and cut it up to fit a JK. If I had a mold and a Chinese connection I’d start making them
I want to replace cabin / dome LED with a more bright LED on my Jeep JLU. Is there any video showing how to replace? Appreciate your support
Excellent instructions.
Thanks for the short and efficient video!
nice video so its basically the same thing as the JK right?
OFF ROAD N Chill yup. He should of just said so lol and saved us the time.
My grill has silver inserts like already attached, how do I take those out? I want to have the black around the headlights and grill sections but I see no way to take the silver part off
Did you figure this out? I want to install black inserts on my sahara, it has silver inserts too
same boat. any luck figuring it out?
I tried to remove my grill and I couldn't do it. I felt like I would break the grill if I pull any harder.
Excellent job!
Does a JK grille fit the JL or does the curve in the JL grille not allow that?
Okay anyone ever dropped one of the little grill fasteners into the engine bay? One popped out of my hand when I was putting the grill back on and fell in the front right part of the engine bay. It was just the flat plastic washer portion. Not the plug insert that goes in the middle. I looked around and could not see it anywhere and it did not fall through. Doesn't appear to be anything that it could do there as there are no belt or fans and even so I can't imagine it would do anything more than just get flung out of the bottom of the engine onto the ground. Still anyone had this happen or can alleviate my concerns that the little piece could wreak havoc.
What size are the pressure clips for a Jeep Wrangler JK 2017
cool easy enough for a girl to do!
Is the colored trim around the grill removable?
Is this the same procedure for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler?
Yes it is!
@@Quadratec Great, Thank you !
will a winch be in the way of taking the grill off ?
ITS posib
it is possible to install a hood lock información JL like JK?
Does the 2018 grill fit on a 2011 model?
not without heavy modification.
Any fender removal yet?
Is this the same procedure for my silver JL? Or will this only work on red ones?
Are the headlights the same as the JK as far as the way they mount, or are they different? Like could i swap in existing JK LED lights like trucklites?
They are entirely different
are they also bigger, they look bigger that JK headlights, what is the size please

Are there conversion kits yet to make a 2017 JKU into a 2018 JLU?
I think the dealership can make that mod happen.
It’s a $48,000.00 mod
Is it possible to put a 2021 grill on a 2022
Yes, they are interchangeable.
In my garage, midnight, wife asleep, quiet as a mouse, breaking out in a sweat worried I'm going to break something. OH YA, get on my Mac, go to TH-cam, type in removing JL grill. Here's a guy in 3 minutes removing the grill. FEW!!. Breathing easier, putting on one of those cheesy angry bird black grills on my new 2021 Rubicon 4xe. Nail biting. Back to the garage, I hope I don't break anything. Thank you!!.
anyone know if they have any mean grills yet for the JL 2018
I've come across a few nice looking ones on Amazon but the majority of mean grills look to be for the JK which is kinda wack
Yes I'm putting one on my JL today
any chance those JL hood latches fit jk
Not sure but we have a bunch of JK mechanical hood latches. www.quadratec.com/p/kentrol/mechanical-hood-catch-kit-07-17-jeep-wrangler-wrangler-unlimited-jk
Is there any way you could move them blinkers back bellow the headlights like the jk?
Because the grill tapers in at the bottom, it doesn't look like there's room behind the grill to fit a light housing if you cut a hole there.
Same for a 2019?
Yep! Same for 2018 JL and up
Unfortunately I have a wench
kind of scary how easy it is to steal my neighbors jl grill
Bruh that’s it !? 😂🤔
lol
Grill plastic? Weak. Real Jeeps have metal grills and bolts. The pot has been stirred, sir.
I had no idea any Jeeps had plastic grills til I saw this
All that money for a plastic grill on the new soccer mom car. I'll keep my LJ.
