Default Removing the Halo...?

How the h@ll does this thing come off? I've got all of the screws out, and it still seems to be connected right at the bend from the side to the top. Is there something I'm missing here? I don't want to break it by pulling on it too hard.

If your talking about the trim there might be some screws behind the light bezels.

Yeah, I'm referring to the trim. It doesn't seem to be hung up at the lights, but I'll check that out, thanks.

I have a new set of halo panels beside me. All screw holes are visible with the exception of a screw hole that would be behind the light bezel.
When I changed cargo trim, I had to remove the light and remove a screw from in there. Can't remember, but that screw might be the same or another screw that could be holding you up.

Thanks...I left the light bezels in not thinking there would be a fastener behind.

I ordered my can of SEM trim paint yesterday (thanks Agent!). Hoping to have the new interior done in a week or so (gotta repaint the door panels too).

This SEM trim paint needs some heat to work right,if its cold where you are using it it might turn to crap.Are you using a spray can or a gun?
