How to remove 997.2 headlight capsule?

As the title says...How do you remove the headlight capsules?

I have a VW Touareg and I know the headlight assemblies come out the "same" way, but I haven't been able to find how to get into the area and then locate the access ports to release the assembly.

Reason: I had a 9yr old boy take a machete to my headlights last week while he was walking to school!!! Yes, a 9yr old, a machete, and going to school. Luckly he only attached the headlights so there is no body damage. I found out that the boy is a special needs child and his parents have their hands full with him and really do care about his upbringing. They are paying to replace the headlights so all is good otherwise.

Thanks,
N867LC

Detailed removal instructions in the owner's manual - look under "headlights" - page 272 or thereabouts.
