If it's a Classic, then you must remove the sidelight 1st

The headlight has 2 nuts facing forward and two on the side - have you undone and removed all 4?

You quite certain there are only 2 bolts holding them on?!... Have a closer look around the unit to see if there are any more...

So its a bugeye.

By chance I was reading this post: https://www.scoobynet.com/group-buys...st-ever-3.html

and it states there are 3 bolts on the headlights. The other is behind the bumper.
