Can you not just reach up from underneath? Did that on my old focus
You need to take the bumper off! the headlight has a groove of some-sort into which the bumper clips in; even if you can unscrew the bottom bracket, you will still not be able to extract the headlight without removing the bumper.
Taking the bumper off is not as difficult as it may seem, but in order to take it off you also need to take off the wheel arch liners because you also have one screw on each side that holds the bumper on the wind/fender ( you can take them off without taking the wheels off).

I also take off 4 screw from the underside but the bumper stays attached. Is there any wrapper on it?
You need to remove the screws and bolts from within the wheel arch also, and all the ones along the top of the bumper.

Thank you ... Cheers
I'm gonna have to take mine off when I change my headlight bulbs
If you want to take the back lights out there is NO need to take off the back bumper!!!!
You only need to take out a few 10mm screws and then it's held in place with some ball-end screws that are pressure fitted into the light assembly. You just pry it away from the body making sure not to damage the paint.

Why
Didn't think there would be enough space but had a look earlier and drivers side looks fine but will need to remove the washer neck and supporting bar on passenger side.
