I did these once before myself but after a bulb failed last mid-winter decided to visit a local Halfords store. Extra long-life bulbs were fitted and so I hope to postpone bulb replacement for a while. In summary, it's not that difficult but a bit of a fiddle to get to and unlatch the spring clip. If you have fat fingers it's going to be a frustrating experience. You could try using a mirror, torch and a small screwdriver. No need to remove the bumper.
