Thanks for all the replies in advance

It's a common problem with AU headlights, they have a polyurethane type seal which requires controlled heat to soften & allow the lens to be removed, so in short it's not really a DIY job to re-seal the lens, which is usually the moisture entry point. It's not necessary to remove the bumper (except XR) to remove the headlights. Changing the bulbs is easy, however, if they keep blowing, it's best to have the headlight re-sealed to rectify the issue.
