remove the bolts that secure the plastic grille which goes right across the front of the car 3no and the top bolt that secures the headlamp to the body.There is a bolt on the underside of the headlamp in the center that can be reached by removing the plastic grille .The grille has two slots that engage with the headlamp on the underside and these are disengaged by drawing the grille forwards.Before drawing out the headlamp assembly pull off the three leads ,two are to the lights and one to the headlamp dip motor(a brown box)The indicator lamp is clipped to the side of the headlamp and can be removed by compressing the plastic clips,this is obvious when you can see the assembly removed from its mounting. I would suggest buying the replacement assembly before removing the original and this allows you to see how the unit fits to the car body. Reverse the process to install the new fitting
