It's quite simple. Remove the single screw on the bottom of the headlight trim ring. The rim should then pop right off. It's pretty straight forward from there.

Some additional help:

Sorted mine out this year.

Follow instructions as above. I didn't take the glass lense off but washed out with washing up liquid/detergent. Dried with a hair dryer and popped them back in.

Just make sure you connect up the elec adjustment hose.

I put alcohol in the light unit to clean it. Swished it around, then poured it out. Used compressed air(carefully) to fully get out the moisture.
