Default Replacing Passenger side low beam bulb on 2006 S60

The low beam on my wife's 2006 S60 is out. I have the new bulb thinking it wouldn't be a big deal, but after lifting the hood and seeing just how tight the space is, I have to ask, how in the world do you get access to it? There's barely any space and I'm not sure I can even get my hand in there. What can I move? There's some type of wiring harness going over the top but I don't know how much I can move it. Any tips? I've read multiple threads about the driver side bulb replacement but very little on the passenger side. (BTW this is a US car)

I have to remove the bumper and headlight assembly whenever I change bulbs, which is rarely. There's just no wiggle room there.

Is that a big deal to do? I'd really like to get the Parking lights working.

You can move the wiring and coolant vent hose and remove the filler neck for the washer fluid. Removing the bumper and headlight assembly is a waste of time for just a bulb.

How about the driver's side. The air filter box is in the way.
