They will be a PITA to change, the drivers side light was difficult and was in a more open area. I couldnt imagine having to change the corner lights or markers that you appear to be pointing to. I changed my headlights to something more powerful in the past and it was a task.

I just changed passenger side fog light and it was a pain. Someone here said it only involved taking a couple screws off the plastic lining in the wheel well. It was actually 5 screws and they were hard to get off. They are plastic screws with flanges at the ends (kind of like dry wall anchors) that srew into a plastic washer pin thingy. Most were gunked up so I had to clean them with WD-40. It took awhile but they eventually came off. The real challenge, though was getting to the light from under the vehicle. Took some contortions, but managed to do it. If the other lights are like this, I do not look forward to changing them myself.

The small marker lights in the bottom of the headlight assemblies are not too difficult to replace. It makes it easier if you take the round covers off the lowbeam/highbeam lights to get more room for your hand. The marker lights are at the bottom near the outer edges and have to be twisted counterclockwise and pulled out. The bulb socket is part of the wire harness for these bulbs (pull out the wire/socket, then pop out the bulb), and it's separate from the other bulbs in the housing. It's even easier to remove if you remove the 3 bolts and pull the headlight out slightly, to get more room behind it.
