It has a serrated edge, so it looks as tho' its meant to be grabbed and unscrewed, but it's also thin so hard to grasp. And I suspect it's been painted shut too.

Just looking for confirmation that I do need to unscrew that chrome trim?

If you are trying to get the bulb out, you need to unscrew it by (gently) pressing on the flat surface to gain purchase to rotate it. Then lefty loosy. Good idea not to screw them in too tight otherwise it makes it hard to get them out.Statement of Affairs (SOA) link: https://www.lemonfool.co.uk/financecalculators/soa.phpFor free, non-judgemental debt advice, try: Stepchange or National Debtline.
