Would anybody have any idea how I could change my parking light bulbs as above. Just checking if there is a need for removing the bumper before I actually sit down to do that!

Nope, I have a pre-facelift. It's very easy, I didn't even jack the car up, just did it by feel. You just need to locate the holder then twist and pull. Pull out the old wedge bulb, pop in the new, then twist the holder back in.

doing it by "feel" might be a bit hard
try this: go to the front of the lights and undo the one screw u can see, then just poke your head under the bumper have a look and push out the whole cluster.
from there ull have easy acces from the front and u can change it easily.
then to put everything bak just push it bak in, u'll find the spot nd it'll pop bak in nicely

Thanks pete and bas, will give it a shot...
I actually went with the feel and replace because I could not get the lights out with reasonable pressure being applied from behind...mind you the passenger side one was a pain thanx to the stock CAI piping...
Thanks heaps guys...
