05 C230K Headlight Nozzle replacement

Want to make my son's car PERFECT.
One headlight spray nozzle doesn't spray and the nozzle/directional pieces are missing on the other (so the stream is erratic).
I picked up a pair of replacement nozzles and I'm toying with doing this while he's home on break from College.

Does this REQUIRE front bumper removal or can I access what is needed from the inner fender removal (take off front wheels and attack from there)?

Advice/links/directions are appreciated.

I don’t have headlight washers so I cannot tell whether you need to remove the bumper to replace them. However, if you need to remove the bumper, it is not particularly difficult. You can use this video as a guide:

Thanks.
That's the same vignette I found.

Weather wasn't great, so I'm deferring this to the next time he's home from College.
