The headlamp assemblies are attached with 2 separate screws and are fitted in a slide position lock. Remove the two screws, disconnet the electrical harness and lift the headlamp assembly away from the from of the car.

The manual has the positions of the bolts to remove to gain access to the radiator.

I usually use my phone and take a before picture to make sure I know where things go when I am putting it back together.
