Headlight removal

[Curtis]

Good day

 

Can anyone give me some pointers as to how to remove the headlight unit? (2002 V). I’ve removed the grill and the 2 top headlight bolts but it still feels locked in place, I don’t want to force it as it is close to the wing and don’t want to damage anything. 

 

Many thanks

front bumper needs to come off completely and the entire grill.

Alex, i'll be tackling this soon, do the wheel arch liners need to be removed to get the bumper off?

[MonsterS]

Thanks Alex - Yeah, what a chew to get a headlight out! I can pop one of the Volvo ones out in seconds.

Is there any official diagrams showing all the bolt positions?
