Introduction
Removing the shield/bumper may seem complicated or perilous at first, but it remains relatively simple.
It's just a matter of unscrewing a few screws, unclipping a few staples and disconnecting the headlights. The most impressive thing is unclipping the shield at the wings, we're a little afraid of forcing at first.
Once you have done this once and got the hang of it, it will only take 5 to 10 minutes to remove the bumper the next time.
Parts
-
-
Raise the vehicle because we will need to access the lower part of the front bumper: Securing the vehicle

Open the hood to access the upper part of the front bumper.

Using a 10 socket wrench, unscrew the 4 screws located at the front of the shield.

-
-
Unscrew the fixing screws under the front bumper using a Phillips screwdriver.

-
The clips holding the bumper to the black plastic front wheel arch protectors need to be removed.
-
Using a suitable tool or a flat screwdriver (fairly thin), remove the clips located under the bumper on the sides.
-
To do this, you must first pull out the central part of the staple by about 1 cm. Once the head of the staple is free, you can easily remove the entire staple by pulling towards you.
-
-
-
Using the Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screw located on the edge inside the front wheel arch.
-
Repeat on the other wheel arch on the other side of the car.
-
-
-
Once the screws have been removed at the wheel arch, simply unclip the front bumper at the wings.
-
To do this, simply pull gently outwards. Do it gradually.
-
Repeat the operation on the other wing.

Once the 4 screws are removed, you can unclip the upper part of the shield.

Simply lift and pull the 2 tabs.

Once the LED daytime running light is removed, you can access the 4 fog light screws.

-
-
Compare the old and new fog lights to verify part match. Check part number and fixings.
-
Retrieve the fog light socket and bulb and install it on the new headlight.
-
The instructions for the new projector (sold on oscaro) indicate that the original red rubber seal must be removed before installing the socket in the new projector.
-
-
-
Replace the new fog light on the bumper.

First, only tighten the 2 fixing screws.

Replace the LED daytime running light and tighten the screws.

All you have to do is follow all the steps in reverse order to reassemble the bumper (starting from step 8):

reconnect the 4 projectors

clip the shield at the wings and at the top.
-
Replace the clips that hold the shield to the wheel arches.
-
Tighten the screws under the bumper, the 2 screws in the wheel arches and the 4 screws on top of the shield.

Remember to check that the lights are working properly after your intervention before setting off. Also check the beam adjustment and its height so as not to dazzle other drivers.

Thank you so much !!
The Suzuki dealership asked me €130 for the part, WITHOUT labor.
So, I ordered the part (a little over €40), I requisitioned my 15 year old son and in 50 minutes it was sorted.
The explanations with the illustrations are great.
Without my son, it would have taken me longer. But super playable!
Ladies, don't hesitate to get started. I should point out that I'm not a manual worker at all.
Very good explanation, very good work, thank you again.
Very well explained, it's rare.
Thank you so much.
