If memory serves, Open bonnet, unscrew bracket onto main headlight unit, then prise sidelight surround horizontally out of bodywork with a screwdriver wrapped in cloth, they're held in with popper type fixings and can be a real bugger, if you have difficulty doing one side, try the other to get the hang of it.

Hope this helps

Some more tips below. Still haven't got mine off yet. Might just let the main dealer do it coz it's due for a service.

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!!!
