If it's a mk6/6.5 then yes I'd say the easiest way to replace them is to take the head lights out, it's not a big job tho. 3 screws then unclip the electrics and give the light a bit of a twist to get it out if the car. Just becareful not to damage the bit of the bumper that runs up next to it (mk6.5)

I've always done them in place. Header tank lifted up and arm under. 13mm I think. Pain is the clips, I fucking hate them.
