They look like my old Hella ones. You open them by rotating the clear part past its "off" setting (counter-clockwise I believe) with some force. It will unlock and drop right out and reveal the screws that hold the metal frame.

Thank you Yngmar.
They are Hella and your suggestion is correct.
To be precise you need to push the transparent up while rotating beyond the off point.
Now i can change the bulbs...
