Acura TL Headlight replacement without removing bumper

In order to replace the headlight bulbs on the Acura TL. The user manual requires to be taken to the dealership. On service manual it says to remove the front bumper completely. I found this method to access the bulb from the side just side of the wheel arc. The space is very limited but can be done.
Be advised that the bulb, connector and cover, needs to be placed in certain way as they have grooves that needs to be aligned. Also note the bulb locking.

I had more trouble getting the stupid plastic lid cover out of there than I actually did replacing the bulb😂

Plus there's no way to get the security screw off without taking the bumper off

Know how you do this in my Mercedes? You open the hood & reach down. Because, you know, the car was engineered properly. Serviceable items are actually serviceable on it.
