you need to slightly modify the bonnet lever to get it to a position that enables you to use it....

the ED XR6 grille is a 1 piece item that covers both lights and the grille,,,

Thats only if you get an original one, there are aftermarket ones around now that are in three pieces. One for the grille and one for each side for the lights.
