Undo the cross head screw by the headlight and pull the sidelight unit forward,you can then get behind the sidelight to unscrew the bulb holder and hey presto

Had a another crack at getting mine off last night, I will not be defeated, and had success with no breakages.
My tips are:
After undoing the screw to the main headlight curl your forefinger on your right hand over and in to the left of the back of the unit were there's a bit of a flat surface that you can apply pressure to with out breaking anything off. With your left hand have you palm flat against the glass to get some grip, forefinger on the virtical edge and other three fingers in the horizontal gap between the light unit and front bumper. Quite sharp jerks straight forward and out it popped.
Well that's how I did it anyway!!!
