I have read posts from people saying its not hard at all to take the front piece off. Here is a link and one heck of a source thanks to Thomas aka Etimago.

If you have a hatchback, it shouldn't be hard at all !
I changed my two headlamp bulbs (in my case H4, but other types have the same fitting), turn signals and 5w bulbs within 30 mins. ! All you need to do is unplug the connector, slide off the rubber boot and undo the clips that holds the bulb in place. The rest of the lamps go out the same way , but don't have a rubber boot. Only downside is the limited space behind each headlamp, so you have to be a little persistent ! Anyway, you don't have to take the bumper off, or even loosen it. |

tsportman is correct, you can get to it without removing the bumper of headlights but on the US drivers side it is VERY tight, you may want to find someone with small hands to help.
