I presume you mean the lenses beside the headlights, which can be a minor pain to remove even if you've done it before.
There is one screw/bolt on top on a small tab. Once this is removed the lens will pull off in a forwards direction from the car. There are two lollipop like fittings on the back of the lens which push into 'cups' on the mounting of the car. Because you can't really get a good grip on the lens and the lollipops don't much want to come out of the cups, removal can be a bit stressful.
Grease or Copaslip the lollipops when you get it off so it'll be easier next time.

No you can change it easy without removing the light!
