RE: headlight trim removal?

["Perry, Chris" <perryc@wdni.com>]

In addition to the plastic retainers there are four phillips screws that are
accessible when the bumper is removed.  In regards to the destruction of the
plastic retainers, mine popped out without breaking (4 times).  I just
re-inserted them each time.
