You are nearly there wadi, it's held by two pegs on the outer edge, a little wiggling will set it free, it is a bit tight though.

V useful this so thanks for the advice. Didn't want to break the unit so consulted this first and following your advice above, I've just successfully changed the bulb. Cheers! Just the headlight to go, which from the looks of another post will take all day. Perhaps a job for tomorrow!
