There's an access panel in the lower front side of the fender well, which lets you get your arm inside to unbolt the lamp housing.

Removing the front wheel helps with clearance.

If I remember right, there are two 10mm hex bolts and one spring holding the housing in place. Make note of where the spring attaches when you take it apart.
