Headlight Removal

[Jcb.]

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help since a search hasn't given me any luck.

The offside headlight lens on our Fabia SE facelift has a crack in it and I'm looking to replace it myself. But I can't seem to find how the headlight is removed from the car. I've removed a few torx bits (as many as I can see) and whilst the headlight is moving around in place, it isn't coming free from the bumper. Surely the bumper doesn't have to be removed for this simple job?

Many thanks.

I'm afraid the bumper must be removed.. The headlamp is a complete unit, so you won't be able to get just the lens as a part.

Oh damn... Is removing the bumper a difficult task?

Thanks for your reply Jon.
