Hi Eric,

The rubber boot should be for the wiring connector.  If you lie the unit
lens down, there should be 4 clips facing up at you, 2 on each short
side - there are plastic pegs that fit under them.  If you push the pegs
towards the middle of the unit, you can lift the bulb holder part away
from the lens part.

I'm waiting for tips as the small missing piece of plastic in the inside corner tells me that even a sighted previous owner had a problem.
