It is integral to the mounting assembly for the headlamp and marker lamp lens assemblies. removing it requires removing the lens assemblies first or removing it and the lens assemblies as one unit.

You don't HAVE to but it makes accessing the hardware a lot easier. Sometimes taking the clamp free and shifting the battery back in the tray is enough.

Why don't you get the headlights without the trim? If you've got a 87-9 Bronco/F-series there were two grilles and two headlights, Chrome and Black and Chrome trimmed and not chrome trimmed. I personally want to find the black grille and regular headlights.

You need to go to a pick and pull and get a set without chrome trim. My 89 has the chrome trimmed headlights and a ugly aftermarket grill. I want to get a black grille/headlight assembly from a junkyard for it.
