There is another ten mil. bolt underneath then you should be able to unclip it , They sometimes need a sharp pull forward as there are two small small ball and plastic sockets on the wing side.

I'll give it another go tomorrow, think I was being a bit to soft with them and wasnt trying to pull them hard enough.

Behind the grill there is a white plastic bracket that has a 10 mm bolt and the other end is attatched to the headlight via 2 screws. You can undo this at either end to remove it but is so so much easier to undo the bolt! then with the top 2 undone give a good pulling jolt to unclip the 2 clips that are wing side on the outer edge of the light unit. be carefull not to damage the wing here. then undo the llight clips at the bottom to be able to pull her free( with some manuvering!) hope this helps. There is also a detailed thread on this with pics under a search on de-tangoing or blacked headlight mod! i have done both and it looks good!! Willsy
