I agree that this is a less than quick and easy process. When I replaced mine I removed both headlight assemblies and replaced all 4 bulbs at once, hopefully to avoid having to go through the process again anytime soon. It was not easy to remove the headlights either, the 2 attachment points on the underside are tough to get to through the fog lamp door in the fender well but it can be done and saves the knuckles somewhat.
