Before you start find a very large soft towel and place it directly under the headlight that way you cannot damage your paint work if you let slip the headlight onto the guard , please dont ask me why i know this ! I use a large screwdriver (carefully not to scratch the paintwork ) to pop open one of the sides of the headlight shell , headlight will then be off it mounts as such , lift up the headlight itself to clear the top anchor point and there you go , sounds easy hey ! takes a bit of jiggling to clear everything. Works for me this way for a very long time.
