Light bulb change Fiesta WQ

Hey,

I have a blown headlight bulb on my WQ Fez. I have tried following the instructions on how to remove the headlamp unit but I can't get it to move as it gets stuck with one of the pieces of plastic. I have booked it in to Ford to do it but if anyone knows any tips on how to do it myself (before Friday) it would be very much appreciated.

First take off the grill cover the radiator by unclipping the clips at each side and lifting it upwards. Unscrew the two screws at the front of the head lamp and then the third screw on top. Lift out the head lamp carefully. Unplug the back case of the head lamp with the clip below. Unclip the headlight by clipping together the metal clips and take out the headlamp, making sure you do not touch the light. Replace the headlamp also making sure you do not touch the light with your skin. In case you do, wipe thoroughly with a soft tissue. Close and replace the appliances in the same way.

I tried for nearly an hour but it won't budge. I figure if Ford break it when they do it then they can pay for it to be fixed rather than me. Thanks anyway guys.
