I've taken mine off. It's a matter of removing a myriad of fasteners, but once they're loose it's a snap to remove and put back on.
I tried getting one headlight out by accessing it from the bottom up for one screw, and by bending some plastic for the top one. I finally gave up and took the skin off. Glad I did, too! It was a whole lot easier to work on both lights, and it also afforded me a look under the skin, kinda like rolln says about getting familiar with the car.
While you're there you might consider replacing the incandescent turn signals with LEDs, which is why mine came off.
