Default Headlight removal

Can anyone point me in the direction of some detailed instructions on how to remove the head light unit.

Do I need to remove the bumber if not how do I get to all the screws?

I have so new bulbs (Main Beam and Fogs) for my headlight (Xenons units)
and want the easiest way to change them.

Thanks,
Mark

To remove the light. Undo the three torx screws you can see (two top, one in the centre by the rad kinda thing.

Remove the indicator lamp, there is another there.

But i'd be very carefull, Xenon ignitors are very powerfull and shouldnt be taken lightly. Also get your alignment rechecked after removing lamps.
