'96 bulb replacement help!

I'm trying to replace the bulbs but I can't figure out how to remove the panel that runs across the front covering the lights and the radiator. The owners manual says that it pops off. It doesn't, it breaks off though. I'd prefer not to rip it off but I can't get to the bolts to remove the housing. Any suggestions?

Get a pair of needle nose pliars. There are 5-7 little black push n lock pins holding the radiator shroud on there. Pull them straight up then they will pull right out. leave them in the out position when you reinstall them. After removing these, it will come right off. 2 bolts hold each of the head light assemblys in place. You need to fully remove them in order to change the bulbs.
