Replacing headlight assembly
New here. 2019 CX5 LED headlight went out. Fuses are good, turn signals wok. New assembly on order. What other bulbs should I replace while I have everything apart?

I would only replace bulbs that are not working/functioning.
Most of these are sealed units and are very expensive to replace, no point in doing so unless it is no longer working.
But if you have the money and don't want to remove the trim again you can replace all of them at the same time.

It is not easy to get to most bulbs on any modern vehicle including the CX-5 which the video shows.
I would not replace a bulb or sealed unit until it no longer functions.
But I no longer do any of that myself, so I'm not concerned with removing the bumper cover.
As I said you can spend the extra money to replace perfectly good bulbs and sealed units when you have the bumper cover off.
Though unless you have money to burn, I don't see why anyone would.

can you get to the bulbs easily to replace them?...was curious about this process since my current car '13 subaru legacy would blow bulbs all the time and i would have to take the wheel off and go through the wheel well to replace a bulb...

Ah yes I know the pain you're referring to with the Legacy. I had the same year and model, and ended up with scrapes all over my arms. But to answer your question, I linked a website below that I use for maintaining my vehicles. It's really helpful, and the guide for the parking light shows taking off the front bumper and headlights.
