Firstly open the bonnet and disconnect the lights.
You will be faced with this

the next pictures will show how to disconnect two of the four wires.

This will pull out

this needs to be twisted then it ill come out

The other two are easier to get out when you have got the light out.

There are three screws holding the light in

those two are easy to get at with a 10mm spanner/socket

there is another one under the brow

This is hard to get at but i used a 10mm ratchet with an extension.

You will need to remove the brow, they are attached with three clips

these are very delicate, i broke 3 of them. short trip to citroen will sort that out

With them bolts undone the light can be pulled out.

Now you can disconnect the other two wires.

this has a clip on the side that you lift then it will slide out

you will need to put a screwdriver under the clip and pull it up, mine flew 20 feet in the air and i spent the next 10mins looking for it.

Now the light should pull free

Now do the same the other side

Nice work Craig!
Do you know if the same applies to mk1 lights (more importantly the grill for the bottom screw?)

mountings are in the same place, but involves taking the whole grille out as opposed to just a brow

as for getting to the bolt, i'd imagine its the same :p

[col101]

Is the grill straight forward to remove?

[chinkostu]

3 bolts on the top, 2 clips under indicators, then just pulls forward :)
