Default changing headlights with a winch bumper fitted

Guys,

Can anyone help, one of my headlight bulb for the low low dip light and not the main headlight keeps going off and coming back so im thinking there is probably a loose connection. Before I had my winch bumper on it was pretty easy to change bulbs by opening the grill in the front but now with the winch bumper and winch it maynot be possible without taking the bumnper off, is there an easy way to do this so I can check for any loose connection and to be honest would be good to know, as if I ever need to change the bulbs on the headlight it will be good to know how to do it....where could this loose connection possibly be as the housing for the bulbs are quite firm and locked in...????

You can break off the lower mounts of the front fascia to make it easier to remove, in theory the bumper will not let it fall off.

You don't need to remove the grille to change the headlamp bulbs. On the pass side, remove the bolt holding the steering reservoir and move it aside. On the driver side, I believe I loosened the horn to make some more room.

My grille has never been off and I even installed an HID conversion kit.
