If you just need to replace a burnt out bulb in the headlight assembly, all you need to do is look inside the front wheelwell and you should see a round plug which you push andturn. This will give you access to a spot where you can stick your hand up inside to reach the back of the headlight bulb assembly and twist it out to replace the bulb. You can also replace your turn signal bulbs from here as well. It can be fairly hard sometimes to do this as there is not much room for a big hand.It once took me 20 mins to replace a turn signal bulb because I could not see the tabs on the socket to line up with the tabs on the turn signal assembly. I could only use my fingers because of the space limitations.Oh yeah it was dark outside to...make sure you do it during daylight hours as it would probably much easier to see what your doing.....lol

You do not have to remove the bumper for the bulb replacement but if your headlight lens is cracked then that is a whole different ball game and i have no suggestions on that one.....Good luck....
