I had a major problem with those on the 5k, and on the 200q.  However,
interestingly, I found that gently prying on one side with a screwdriver
-right- at the clip, centered, gave good results.  Once you work one end
free, get the others off by gently twisting and moving the strip up+down
while pulling out slightly.  Seems to coax it off.

While the headlights are out+grille is removed, my IC is going to get
another cleaning...this time with some foaming engine cleaner.  That seems
like the way to go; the foam will expand back into the IC, where it's
harder to reach.
