Changing headlight turn signal bulb
There's no way you can change that turn signal bulb without removing the bumper and headlight. You should look into the switchback LED bulbs and while you're at it you should get a pair of resistors for that hyper flash that you'll get if you don't. If you were ever thinking about upgrading the headlight buld this will be a good time to do so.
There are a few ways to get to the headlights without having to remove the bumper. But, honestly removing the bumper is one of the easier ways and only takes 10 minutes or so to do it.
Another way would be to go through the fender. Which can end up being a PITA.

Although, I remember that some have actually installed the resistors in the trunk and that has worked for them. The LED tail lights already have resistors built into them.

Yes you'll need another 2 for the front. They ones you have is for the in the rear.

I believe 6 ohm resistors are need for each bulb. 3 ohm resistor on one end will work for all 4 bulbs. I already had 6 ohm for both rear, so just got another pair of 6 ohm for the front. Although I broke my LED strip before even installing and gave up...
