You don't need to remove the bumper to take the headlamps out.  If you prise out the 'rubbing strip' in the bumper just below the headlamp, you'll see access to the lower headlamp fixing bolt. :happy2:

I tried to get my headlights out using the above method.  No chance.

You can get all the screws out (x3), but actually getting the light out with either taking the slam panel off, or the bumper apron off was impossible.

Taking the apron off is a 10 minute job, makes the whole task achievable.

JPC:
Ditto. I found the same Dave. Even with the bumper off, I always tape the sides of the lights as they are awkward to remove. The corners of the wings get in the way!! :signLOL:

QD MBE:
Yes Jay, I did that too, you have to swivel the light out.
