I've taken off the headlights a few times and it'd be really hard to take them off without removing the bumper, cuz there are the brackets connecting the headlights to the car.. its right under the headlight, its a 10mm, and the bumper is easy to remove.

It's REALLY easy if you take off the upper grille when you do it. I have heard people with altezza grilles have it easier. In all honesty, you can take the headlights off without removing the bumper, but realize that if it's your first time.. you should just for the experience.
