I believe the same way you change the brake lights when they go - through the license plate. Remove it, and stretch your arm through the hole like Stretch Armstrong (for those of you old enough to remember him).

If you reach thru the license plate hole, you can take out the nearest taillight, go thru that hole to take off the outer taillight. There are 2 10MM bolts holding each tailllight on.
That might give you room enough.
If that doesn't work, I guess the bumper has to come off.

There was one of these ugly things on my C4 when I bought it. I thought it made it look like a rice burner. THere were 3 mounting points, each with 2 bolts. The center ones were accessed through the license plate hole, the outer two were done from below with an 18" extension. If you don't want to save the spoiler, a sawzall works well.
