Pop the hood, feel inside the fender.
You need to push on the front side of each grille and it will pop out, the rear has a tab that slides under the sheet metal on the back sides.
You can use a tool if you absolutely need it, but make sure its either wrapped in tape or its made of plastic.

Once you have the grill in hand, the bulb is still attached. Just turn it until it stops and then pull it out. The wiring and lightbulb can just hang off to the side. To get the plastic bulb housing off, you'll see that one end has a plastic clip that acts like a spring. If you push the housing back towards that, you can then lift the other end up and it'll come right off. If you don't understand this, let me know, or someone else might be able to describe it better than me. i had a long day today.

Yeah, I think I went wayyyy too deep into that description.
I thought it was easier to pull the light out first then just pull the grill out.
The tab holding the back may bend slightly just push it back so your grill sits flush before you put it back in.
