Drivers side headlight lens S80 2001

Found it . . .

The front bumper has to be partially removed on one side to replace a headlight assembly or glass.

Start by removing the upper clips that retain the glass to the headlamp shell.
Next, drill off the 4 plastic-headed rivets inside the wheel well (have new rivets and a rivet gun handy for re-installation).
Remove the headlight wiper arm, the black plastic trim cover just below the headlight (heat with a hair dryer then pull off carefully), and the side marker lamp (which is attached to the black cover).
Remove the turn signal lamp assembly (push down on the release tab from the top next to the headlight, then slide forward).
Remove the 2 plug covers in the lower front area of the bumper, and remove the bumper retaining bolts. The bumper will now slide forward enough on one side to remove the remaining clips that retain the glass to the shell.

It's not as hard as it sounds.
