Does anyone have any easy tip on how to replace these damn things without taking off the bumper or breaking something in the process? Haven't found anything on youtube that would be of help.

Have you tried going through the bumper openings?

Have you tried going through the bumper openings?

I have not, I'll throw it up on some ramps and give that a try to give me more room to look without contorting lol. Thanks for the video!
I have to take the bumper off on mine. My hands are too big to fit into the openings in the bumper. That's the main reason that I replaced all of the bulbs up front with LEDs, those last a lot longer than a regular bulb.
I replaced mine from behind. I remember is being somewhat a pain figuring how to twist and pull and replace by feel only.
I've been wondering that myself with my 2016. I've seen videos where using a flat head screwdriver, you pop out the entire light then replace the bulb. Still not confident though.

That's the way I've done it, it's actually super easy.
Last time I did mine on my 14 I just laid on the ground and reached up from below and just blindly reached up and took them out putting them in was definitely not the easiest but I got it to work way better then then taking the bumper off. I just replaced the driver turn signal light and housing that had me wanting to trade it in for a new car I can’t imagine having to take the hole bumper off.
