Could I ask for your experienced taking-apart advice please? I need to get the offside headlight out of my A2, but the Webasto heater makes it seemingly impossible to get to the two outer retaining screws. With apologies for the cheek of it, do you have any tips for me please?
 
Seems to me you're over-thinking it. Headlights have one top clip, one inner front bolt into the bumper and the two remaining rear mountings are just lugs that fit into recesses. The headlight should pull out forwards and be completely free once you've undone the wiring connector.
 
As Ian has said there are just two securing bolts. Both quite obvious. When they are out, wiggle the light unit to release it from its mounting (there is a U shaped clip on the car that a pin on the unit slips into) The loom is quite short for the RHS light so you will need to remove the plug before it can be removed.
