Default Headlight bulb...easiest way?

Alrighty, so would going through the fender liner be easier or dropping the front bumper? I heard changing light bulbs in this car is a PITA. So wanting to know, from your experience, which way did you find easier? Any advice would be great

Ordered my replacements, should be here in a while, Thnx JS2K.
So pointers please

Thnx guys

I went through the fender liners. Don't know if it was easier but it was a pain. Small hands and nimble fingers would help.

easiest way if you need a lot of room is to take off the wheel

if you have done it a couple times and know what you are doing, turn the wheel to the outside, and peel back the fender liner, and do it by touch

Remove the wheel and go through the fender liner - easier than pulling the bumper.

removing the bumper does help you still can get behind the lights without removing them. Wheel liner only why and you need a star security tool too for the back of the HIDs also turn the ignitor 1\4 turn to remove them remove the clips on the bulbs also disconnect the battery this is a PIA changed HIDs and hi beams to Philips silver stars

I can do the front bumper removal + headlight in less than 30 minutes.
