i managed to do it and i aint got the smallest of hands, cant remember how i managed it though but i did end up with cuts down my arm
Yep, bumper off.
I have a 1.2 SX and mine was tight!
My mate has 1.9FR and we had his bumper last weekend for the same thing.
Best thing to do is buy LED sidelights and you will never change them again.

P.S. Could someone tell me what the name of colour is, it's not in the owners manual.
It's the kind of light blue / kind of silver colour....

It's not Brisa blue, this is Brisa blue -
The picture in your avatar is glacier blue I believe.
Re. the sidelights - it is tight but you can change them without removing the bumper, just take your tine and be patient. I also found turning the sidelights on helps as it illuminates the area a bit.
Unless you buy cheapo ones from ebay and they blow within days!

You get what you pay for...
Magical, Glacier Blue, i still keep getting a slagging for it cos most folk say it's a "girls" car!
might be worth trying to pop the rear case of with a lever of some kind (screwdriver?) then you if approach the light from the back of the car if that makes sense, as if you arm was coming in the casing for the headlight from the windscreen. Hope this helps. 
It can be done even with large hands. However be prepared to do the following.
1) Swear a lot
2) Get angry
3) Bleed
Be carefull not to lose the clip that holds the cover on as i had mine ping off and vanish off to live with the intercooler. Had to hoik it out with a magnet.
In fact it's getting the cover back on that is the hardest part, especially when it's drivers side.
Good luck
