Default S Type R ballast replacement ?

I finally got the new ballast in for the drivers side xenon. To remove and install it, does the headlight have to come off which means the whole front end basically....or is there a way to sneek behind there to get the job done?

Any tips would be great!

Take the bumper off, it only pays 1 hour theres no way to get behind there and take out the torx bolts

Should have let me know i have good extra used and new ballast. It really only takes about 20-30 mintues to do and you only have to loose the whole top cover and grill then the wheel arch and inner fender 10mm on the affected side. You can pull the bump cover away and around to work with since its urethane

Let's talk about a package deal. I send you my lights, you send it back fixed (adjuster is broken) with the ballast.

FWIW, I have replaced the ballast without removing the bumper/lamp assembly. It can be done.
