Default HELP! How do i take the headlight off of my '01 A6?

I tried to take the headlight off today because it has a very bad condensation problem. So much so that the passenger lamp has stopped working properly. So im going to try to take it off and dry it out and put some silicone around the seal to try to remedy the problem, but aside from the two torque screws on top of the lamp i cant find where else the light is attached. Could someone please help?!

If your trying to remove the whole assembly, then the whole bumper has to come off.

Its not worth not taking the bumper off because you could break the swivel on the side of the headlight.

Ok, so i guess i probably should not take it off myself then because i do not have the proper tools for all of that work. Do you know if there is any way i could get all of the condensation out? Or where the vent on the headlight is located to see if maybe its clogged? I did notice there is two metal clips on the back of the light that hold the assembly tight together, one was off. I put it back. I doubt the fix is that simple. OR should i just send it to the shop for a new headlamp?

Thanks a lot for the help by the way!

New headlamps are expensive, try removing the turn signal bulb and use compressed air to blow out the condensation.
