I need to remove one of the headlight assemblies, and to do that after the grill is removed (easy), the lower body trim piece also must be removed to access the lower bolt holding the headlight assembly. How exactly does that come off? Service manual just says "remove it". I don't want to start pulling on it and break the thing. Appreciate any insight.

I had to do similar with a rear panel to get to the tail light. I assume it's the same and held in with clips, you just pop it off. But I was nervous as hell doing that to a painted part. I wouldn't be all that excited to do it again.
