+1. I'd like to know as well...but I think that's the only way as there's a piece of the bumper in between the low beam/high beam shrouds. So retarded that we have to do ALL this work to replace a bulb..

yes, bumper needs to come off to remove headlights. However, there is no need to remove headlights to replace any bulb.

W205, X253, C190, W213,
It's sorta crazy, but realistically how often do you have to remove headlights?? Bulbs can be replaced from the back, and IF you have to remove the headlights it's only a 30 minute job to remove the bumper cover.

this. if you're not confident removing your bumper, don't mess with the headlight system.
