Any idea how to get this headlight apart?

I don't see any screws or anything... it's ok right now, but in the future if the bulb needs to be replaced, I'd rather know how to do it ahead of time.

You better screw the trim ring off and apply anti-seize now. I have seen ppl leave it on for too long, can't even turn the ring when changing the bulb. I like Joe's black housing and blue ring, nice touch!
