I followed your instructions Jaak, but mine seems to be a 5mm "box spanner", not a 5mm allen key, got the whole front light assembly out only to find the shop had sold me a push fit bulb and not the bayonet fitting bulb I need. So put it all back together. Got the correct bulb tonight, went to unlock the assembly with the 5mm box spanner......and the whole box spanner shattered in my hands like it was made of glass, nearly slashed my wrists!!!!

Looks like I need to buy a new tool from somewhere now!
