you have to go through the wheel well and unclip the inner fender lining, so no its not easy compared to something like a honda

No. But it is a lot easier if you jack up the car several inches. (Preferablly not with the scissor jack)

People claim you can. I couldn't get it to work. When I just removed the 3 clips, I couldn't peel the fender-lining back far enough to access the lights. To get the most clearance, you need to pull the front-fenderlining out from underneath the rear part of the fenderlining. In order for me to do that you have to remove the screw at the top, which I couldn't do because the tire was in the way. So I jacked up the car a few inches, so I could fit a small screwdriver between the top of the tire and the screw.

since I had the car jacked up a few inches, I just went ahead and removed the clips and bolts on the bottom, and just removed the whole fender-liner.
