You'll have to remove the indicators (easy one bolt on top).
Remove grille & surround that goes under headlight (four lugs at top of grille & one at bottom to release with a flat bladed screwdriver, plus bolt to undo which was underneath each indicator).
Release the two central clips & it should lift away
You should now be able to see the lower headlight retaining screw (its in the centre).
All you do now is lift it out & disconnect the plug!
Hope that helps!

Its a bumper off job mate
May seem daunting but its pretty easy to take off.
Torx screws at the top, in the wheel arch, behind the foglight grilles and under the indicators.
Its about a 5 to 10 minute job to take off dude
