5th gen camaro, you had to remove the entire front fascia
I had a 2010/camaro and did not have to remove the front facia to change a bulb. I had no issues replacing and bulbs in this car in less then 5 min. Adding a resistor adds a little time, but to replace front, back, side markers it's easy as hell.

Maybe the walk through I saw included removing the headlight assembly in addition to the bulbs.

Avoiding resistors isn't about saving time. It's about lower power usage... One of the primary benefits of leds

Would be nice not to have to use resistors. But most people are not switching to LEDs to lower power usuage. It's all about looks. Or a benefit such as brighter reverse lights, fog lights. Most modern cars have to use resistors. Mechanical/ electronic relays are going away for bcm control. It is what it is. I remember people trying to find a work around on the 5th gen for 6 yrs. Never happened. Resistors are not bad to me or enough of a issue to worry about finding a workaround through the bcm which could beef the computer.
