    Can anyone advise how to remove this clip on the front black panel in front of the engine. I want to remove the clip and then the black plastic intake so that I can reach the passenger side headlight bulb from the engine area. I've loosened the clip by prying up with a flathead screwdriver, but not sure how to pull it out all the way. Do they typically break when being removed? And if so would you know the replacement #. Thanks.

    Update, I got the clip off, but there was a 2nd clip holding the air intake that went flying. Does anyone know the replacement # for this?

    I wouldn't worry about breaking it. They really are disposable. I keep a bag of 100 in the garage. That clip is not an OEM. probably something from Autozone or other car parts place, where they sell them in packs of 5 or 6 typically.
