Default Easy to replace headlight bulbs?

Hi all - I will be ordering replacement bulbs for my headlights and fog lights but wanted to see if this was pretty straight forward (didn't see any write-ups for it like I did for the fogs). Some of my previous cars required removal of the bumper and I'm hoping this is not the case with the A5/S5!

Thanks.

Relatively easy to do but requires removal of the headlights. Good luck!

Does anyone know how to remove the headlights without damaging anything. I purchased halogens with the xenon 8000k lights installed. I was able to remove the 3 screws and had them almost out but there is a small plastic piece on the bottom holding it in. Is there an easy way? Any suggestions? Thanks
