Headlight Bulb Replacement

I am replacing my headlight bulbs (brights) does the whol assemble come out towards the front of the car and then you pull out the bulb and replace it with the new one? the compartment is pretty cramped and I am not seeing that there will be enough room to remove the old bulb from the rear.

Thanks for yopur help.

things with and without wheels
head light bulb comes out from the inside, 2 screws hold it in place.
if you want to remove the whole head light assembly, the front bumper has to come off first.

Speaking of bulb replacement.
I need to change my foglight bulb on my wagon.
What is the trick.
It seems I have to go under the car to change the bulb?

just replace it with a HID kit..I've paid $30 for it and it was super easy to install...took me 15mins and you can stuff the ballast and all the wiring inside the headlight cover...
