I actually work at my local Toyota dealership (NOT as a salesman!) and I have done it before. You DON'T have to tear or break anything off, although it is guranteed you will break some of the clips. Your local Toyota dealership parts department should have a few of them in stock though. Okay, see those clips that hold the grille in place at the top? Well there are the same clips on the bottom side as well. They are also on the top and bottom of the headlight surrounds. Also you will need to pull off your corner light assemblies first. You push down on the top of the clip to disengage them (to get to the bottom ones you will need a long flathead screwdriver), and when they are all disengaged you can GENTLY pull the grille off (it comes off as a whole assembly with the headlight surrounds). If all else fails, you can use a long thin screwdriver to get to the three screws holding the headlamp in place. This sometimes works, but you might break more things. Hope this helps.
