Default 2000 LS400 foglight removal

I see the philips head screw there. Once I remove that which direction do I pry in so as not to break any tabs? Not sure why the owners manual does not have these kinds of simple directions. Want to replace the 9006 bulbs. Thanks.

Gently pull it at the seam of the 2 lenses.

Tried pulling at the seam after lodging in a plastic card, but seems like a real tight fit. What can I try next? Thanks.

1. Unscrew screw on outer dummy fog light (the one closest to the wheel).
2. Take flathead and place in between dummy light and fog light.
3. Push in and towards the dummy light.
3a. If you still have trouble, place Philips head in empty screw hole and push in and away from the wheel while repeating step 3.

There is a tab but after removing my fog lights multiple times doing this above method, I have yet to break it. When you finally see the tab, you'll see why.

From here, it's pretty straightforward. There is another screw for the actual fog light and then that's it. Should pull right out with ease.
