On top of the headlight near to the side light you should see a screw going through a plastic tab on the side light which you need to remove sidelight should then come out.

Hi, had to do mine today - yes its just the one screw, but you'll need quite a bit of brute force and ignorance to pull the unit forward, as its well clipped in place - or at least mine was!

Hope this helps...

There's a plastic peg at the back of the sidelight which is supposed to poke through a hole in the metal for alignment. However, the metal has a habit of cutting into the plastic, preventing the peg from being able to slide forwards. Nothing for it but brute force.

Try putting a screwdriver between the sidelight and headlamp to pry them apart slightly, then pull it forwards.
