Frank. Go to This page and select headlight removal. The diagram shows two bolts BUT there is a third!!.  The way to access it is to remove the fog/indicator lamp and its holder. You can then see up to the base of the lamp where you will see the third bolt. The whole light unit will then come away. Have you checked fuses 4 and 5 in the main fusebox as they control the dipped beams. One for each side. 4 left,5 right.

Not a bad idea to lay something soft on the ground - unless you're good at juggling

Frank, Tompion is talking about the big connector to the main fusebox. Have you disturbed that?. The link is working for me and it does for Dave??.
