How to change bi-xenon bulb on 05' SL600

There seems to be little to NO room to get my mitts down there?? especially on the left passenger side?? Do I need to remove the entire headlight? & Bumper?

Thanx in advance. I bought aftermarket 6000k xenon bulbs, I'm sure the dealership will be prix about it if I ask them to do it...

BTW the hand-book just shows the headlight assembly, nothing about tight space nor if bumper etc.. need removal 1st?
