Dumb question - 2002 Passat headlight housing removal

Hi, I can't seem to figure out how to get the headlight housing to come out. I removed the two mounting screws and fiddled around with it, but I must be missing something. I bought a Haynes manual, but that only covers up to 2001, and of course, the 2002 headlight housing is a bit different (no seperate turn signal housing).

Anyone know what the trick is? Part of the fixture mounting the low beam has popped lose from the housing, and I can't get in there to get it back together. I'm stumped.

You have to take the front bumper cover off as well as the center grille. there are 2 bolts under the bumper cover that hold the headlight on as well as the bolts on top.
ANd if the housing has come apart inside the assembly... you might need a new headlamp.
