I have small hands that can reach all bulbs but since front bumper removal is so quick and easy I chose to remove it when I did my headlight bulbs last weekend.

Bumper removal is not fun if you have HL washer nozzles...

Replacing that bulb is very simple if you follow the tech tips I posted above.

I have washers, no problems with disconnecting one quick disconnect coupling.

That is bc you know how to deal with HL washer nozzles.
An unsuspecting person can run into problem at that step.

Seriously, no need to remove bumper.
I subsequently tried with a 1/4" socket and it worked great.
