Headlight removal

I know there is a DIY for it but I've heard there is a way the headlight can be removed without removing the front bumper

I don't think you could squeeze a wrench or socket to where the bolts are right behind the bumper cover as in pic 5 of the DiY

But honestly it's not that hard to pull the bumper off

Taking out the aftermarket bumper scares me a little

THanks for the input !

do you know if your body shop bolted the front diffuser in place?

if there is, you have to lift up your car to take off whole bumper
