Default Is the headlight cover removeable?

Somehow a spider has got into my headlights, and is now toast! Any ideas on how to get the blighter out of there?

I don't know about the euro headlights but on the u.s. one's you would take the headlight unit out. (if you don't know how look at the FAQ for DIY clear corners) I did the clear corner mod and I had plastic shavings EVERYWHERE inside my headlight so what I did was I had a Co2 tank available with a 1/4" bendy hose on the end that I stuck in through the hole where the high beam bulb is and took the turn signal bulb out and blew air through it. Then all the little pieces I didn't get I got out by connecting that same rubber hose to the end of my vaccum cleaner nossle and fed the tube through the bulb holes and sucked out every last piece I could reach.
But on the euro lights I don't know because the turn signal bulb looks very different. Hope this helps you

Default If you remove the whole assembly(m)

and then the bulbs you may be able to wiggle him out or maybe take a VERY small vacum and try that.
