The bumper has to come off. The lights are not single lamps they are joined in one unit behind the bumper. There mya be another way, but this is how I have seen it done at a body shop when my car was getting repaired.

Removing the bumper's very easy, should take you 20 minutes tops.

if that, the first time i took mine off it took me 10 minutes by myself. just follow all the bolts/screws around the bumper and itll just slide right off.

it came off easy-top screws under hood were factory tight so it was a little bit hard to get off without stripping the screw but it was easy enough
