Yes...remove the metal trim strip (can be a pita to get to the screws, but definately doable) from the car and you can access the lower two screws for the B3 cars. B4 cars, all you have to do is remove the plastic trims under the headlamps (two easily accessible screws, 1 each) and you can then unscrew the lower two screws w/no problem.

After that, just disconnect your wiring harness from the reflector housing, and wiggle the headlamp out.
