    Do you mean you can't get it open? (the lid lifted on my friends) or you can't get the bulb out?

    2 screws to remove - one in each hole either side of the sensor at the bottom.

    After that, the whole front pulls off. It will probably be stuck due to the rubber seal around the sensor transforming into a sticky mess.
