To add to the above, the two push fit clips are quite near the top and bottom outer corners of the headlight. They can take some force to pop out, but be carefull on the top one and also when removing, because you can easily dent your wing.

Mine were done by the previous owner of the car, admittedly not too well as the lenses were scuffed to hell and there were hairs and stuff stuck inside.

I bought some new lights off of eBay in the end, and did it my self properly.

Alright Davey mate, hows it going? Funny you should say that mine has been detangoed/blacked but instead of silver bulbs has orange in so looks a little weird when I get some silvertec bulbs in I'll take some pic's. At least it saves me from putting them in the oven again lol
