pull the rubber surround off, then the light fitting twists and pulls off, then you can release the bulb and remove, replace and refit.
its unlikely the bulb has died though, so get the ballast tested, and check the fuse as these normally last forever!

Hang on, are you referring to the rear palstic cover of the headlight? If so it's held in by 3 small crosshead bolts. Look here:
