Whats up every the name is brandon i leave in socal. i just got me a fit sport and im trying to figure out how to replace the bulb with out taking the bumper off, I cant even squeeze my finger on it plus It looks imposible to replace due to luck of space. Is there a DYI for this? If so please post the link thanks

It's in your owner's manual.

But I'll be nice today, turn your steering wheel in the opposite direction of which side you are wanting to change. I.E. passenger side, turn the wheel to the left. Then undue the retaining clip at the top of the fender lining and pull it back. Now you have a direct route to the back of the headlight.

It's still a PITA but you can actually kinda see what you're doing that way. It took me about 20 minutes the first time I changed out my bulbs and my arm got scratched to hell.
