Thought I would change the bulb on one of my PIAA's at the weekend......2 min job.
Removed the 3 bolts holding the bracket to the bumper & expected (silly me) the unit to come away.
Seems its also held on at the bottom & cant see how to release it.
Anyone else had this ?

Oh dear.....sounds like someone fitted them by bolting the lamp to mounting bracket bolt through the backplate/bumper. You will have to remove the 17mm nut from under the splash guard behind the bumper to get the lamp off, then you lose your beam settings.

When you put them back, get a cone cutter and open out the lamp bolt hole in the backplate in the bumper to be large enough so the lamp mounts to the bracket, then the nut on the back of the lamp bracket passes through the enlarged hole in the backplate, rather than bolt through it.

Then, next time, you will be able to get them off by just removing the three Philips headed screws.

Thanks Dave.
PIAA's were fitted by a Subaru dealer before I got the car - would have thought that they would do it right !
