Others have posted that it's possible to swap out the headlight bulbs without removing the front wheels, but I have never tried to remove the bulbs with the front wheels on.

I did mine w/o the jack nor removing the wheel. There are four clips on the headlight cover. Use a flat driver and unclip (push up) the top two and push the inner lower clip. Your headligth cover should come off easily.

changed!
got 2 new cover caps.
the stock cover caps didnt pass the QC!!! the 2 top clips were not moving at all!!! apparently there is a piece of plastic not cut leaving the clip unmoveable at all..
take a look at the new cover caps, damn how did such part fitted onto the cars, this could cause more damaged to the headlamp system if the cap is forced opened by unskilled service personnel...
will show the pic of which part i'm talking about...
