Take the whole headlight assembly out. Should be able to twist the lights out.

No you shouldn't have to remove a bumper to replace a light, that's crazy lol. Usually if not always the light sits in a little assembly thats twisted in to the back of the headlight or whatever assembly...just twist it out. Just look around, for the bolts holding the headlight assembly in and remove them, then it's a case of shimmying the headlight out till you can easily access the back of the light bulb you wish to remove.
