    Easy. Remove the two self-tapping screws on top of the headlight unit. This will not be enough to remove the whole unit (there's another screw underneath), but it will give you a bit more finger space.

    If its a MK1 like mine I did this:

    - Remove the Drivers side wheel

    - Remove the Wheel arch lining (3 or 4 screws, Really easy)

    - This reveals one bolt on the underside of the headlight unit, Remove this.

    - Remove the two bolts on the top of the headlight unit.

    NOTE: You might have to remove a plastic cover above the front grill to access one of the top bolts on the headlight unit, But this again is just 2/3 plastic lugs.
