Not done it myself, but I think you only need to remove the black plastic shroud and it should be obvious from there.

Yeah it is pretty obvious :D

Black cover is held on with 2 screws either side, then kinda comes out forwards with a bit of persuasion.

Headlight cover is held on with 2 bolts either side then just lifts off.

Take your time to get the panel alignment right when you put it back on, tighten them up and then take the headlights up and down a few times to make sure the panel gaps are rightish. Don't overtighten the screws for the black cover because they're self tappers and will shred the yellow plastic inserts that they screw into.

How to remove black (white in my case) shroud is covered here:

Youll see the screw/bolts that hold the shroud on then

Thanks guys, was a piece of cake, just fitted my shiny new carbon headlight covers - looking nice with the goodwood green. Only took 20 mins!
