'06 9-5 Wagon: front headlight lamp?

Our '06 9-5 wagon has a lamp out in the passenger side front headlight. I looked over some old repair bills, and I guess at one point when they had the car in the shop for something else, they replaced the bulb - it was a H7, so plain old halogen, not Xenon.
I've replaced a lot of bulbs over the years in my '01 Aero, and in other 9-5 wagons we've owned. I popped the hood on our current wagon, and it sure doesn't look like a human hand will fit in there in front of the hoses and the MAF. A look online didn't produce much help, but it looks like the two choices are to (1) find someone with a small hand and still have to remove the MAF and hoses or (2) pull the front shroud from underneath the wheel wells, etc etc. To replace a headlight bulb!???! Did Saab go that far astray in 2006 that it had to join the likes of other Euro cars with difficult procedures to fix simple things? (I recall some Audis where it cost several hundred $$ to replace a blown bulb, as the front of the car had to be disassembled, more or less...)?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
