Removing bottom of engine bay fuse box??

Doing some preliminary work for my driving lights install. I'm trying to follow the OEM install but using the Hella wiring. Thanks to earlier posts I have identified the High beam wire at the foot well control module which I will use for the switch. I'd like to run the ground to the bottom of the fuse box per the OEM instructions but haven't figured out how the bottom of the fuse box comes off - does it slide forward? or pop off with a flat blade screw drive??.

A little help before I break something

Thanks
Dennis

When I installed my driving lights (OEM) I used the ground point on the body 'under' the fusebox. Our club install on our presidents MINI did exactly what you are looking into before realizing that the instructions are actually referring to one of the 2 ground screws on the body and not in the fusebox.

Many thanks - I would have been very disappointed to have pryed off the bottom only to find I have been staring at the body ground points all along.
