There is a third one Bob.
It's located behind the indicator/foglight unit, you need to remove that to gain an easy access.
I have looked for details on how to do but can't find it.

If you have the foglight version,prize the indicator out from the centre whilst sliding it to the outside,then the foglight and holder are held in by a tongue on the inside and one self tapper on the outside.

Rodders, That's because the Ford instructions Here (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/electrical/exterior/Headlampsremins.pdf) don't mention the third bolt. I will be changing my headlamp soon and when I do I'll post a photo of the 'hidden' bolt location and put a post in How to Do Things. :)
