I've not done one, but the bulbs in my previous Passat were a pig to fit. It's much easier to take the bumper off and the headlights out so that you can see what you are doing. It really isn't that daunting a job and is probably quicker with less blood and swearing.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

I have changed mine, fiddly but not difficult. Drivers side is not too bad, but passenger side, it's easier if you remove the air box, takes about 10 minutes.
