Default Removing DRL housing on 991?

Does anybody know how to remove the DRL housing on the 991? I managed to knock loose the radiator mesh on my 991GT3 and it looks like the best way to get it back in is to remove the DRL housing above it, but I can't figure out how it comes out. TIA!!!

If I recall, the only way to safely (or at all) remove the DRL is to take-off the front bumper cover. I'm assuming the DRLs on the GT3 are mounted similar to the 991 C/4/S variants. But don't worry, that isn't so bad a DIY!

Great avatar about removing the center lock wheel. Just did my rear tire one and it wasn't that bad as I thought. You definitely need the breaker bar attached to the torque wrench, all about leverage.

try the fronts! even with the brake pedal depressed fully I could not get my front CL nut to "break", I had to drop the car then loosen the raise
