Hi, you can't realy with out removing the front plastic bumper unless you have very small hands to get into a very tight place to replace the bulb. Have seen it done without taking the bumper off but the bulb became loose after a while and was shining high into the trees. Taking the bumper off is awkward and you need to remove the 10mm Hex head bolts under the bonnet and the bolt near the wheel arch on each side that hold in the bumper. You can just loosen off one side and support the bumper on the other side to then gain access to the headlight units to remove them. This is the easiest way to install the bulbs securely. Replace you bulbs with long life ones as cheap bulbs will blow quicker having then to do the same operation again.
