That's strange, I've replaced mine and never used a cover in the wheelarch.

Remove the "bonnet" and put it somewhere safe. (To remove the bonnet, open the service cover and twist the two black catches, then lift the bonnet forward and off, carefully)
Unscrew the headlamp unit using a Torq bit; two Torq screws to undo. One very plainly visible on top, the other one matches it, but is buried a little. Seek and ye shall find!
Pull the headlamp unit forward, and you will have access to the bulbs. You can disconnect the wiring and pull the unit out completely if you must.
Assembly is (as ever) the reverse of removal!

Since the bulbs appear to last 6,00 miles if you're lucky (on the 1.4 TDi at least) you WILL become adept at this procedure!
