There is a bolt underneath the light, you need to reach your hand up behind the bumper to remove it. Sounds like whoever changed the bulb last on the other side didn't put it back in!

The mk1 has 4 bolts, 3 are visible and 1 accessible under the wheel arch by first removing torx screw bit that screws onto lower end corner of bumper. It's a tight fit but can be done if your patient. They are all 10mm bolts.
