It's much easier to remove the two screws that hold the intake in place and move the intake filter out of the way to reach behind the lamp housing. It's quicker that removing those two screws. Safer for the headlight you are replacing as well.

Nope you can't Amanda, at least on the drivers side light. Anyways to take the light out you have to undo obviously the two screws that hold the headlight in. Then after that there should be I believe 3 fascia screws/clips that hold part of the bumper down that you need to take out. Then you will need to pull back on the bumper a little bit then its just a matter of pulling the headlight out, its a PITA (pain in the ***) because there is a huge chunk of plastic that sticks into the frame, I was considering just hacking it off because it was annoying as hell. Anyways thats how you do it, hope that helps.

Holy OLD THREAD. But yes, I've heard of that from other people as well. Unfortunately, my hands don't fit in that small of space. I've tried, and I have taken my air box out and I still have to take the headlight out to change bulbs.[:@][:@]

Wow... that's crazy...
I logged into Dealer Connect and this is what it says:
1. Disconnect and isolate the battery negative cable.
2. Remove two screws attaching headlamp unit to upper crossmember.
3. Remove three screws attaching fascia to radiator crossmember and carefully bend fascia forward to allow removal of headlamp unit.
4. Remove headlamp unit from vehicle.
5. Disconnect wire connector from back of headlamp.
6. Rotate retaining ring counterclockwise one quarter turn.
7. Remove retaining ring from headlamp unit.
8. Remove bulb from headlamp unit.

Pasenger side easy as others have said. Driverside is harder but even with my non Japanese Meat Hook I can get the bulb in and out with just the top of the air box off. No real biggie you just ahve to want it.
