Hi mate,
You will need to take the bumper off the car to replace the headlight - theres two bolts beneath bumper level. You wont need to take the battery out, but the indicator, and bumper are a must!
See here for how to take the bumper off - will take 20 mins tops
Its an excellent guide

haha
lol!
Ye, for ease of access remove the battery...it makes life a hell of alot easier, tho you can do it without removing the battery - the way the sidelight comes out, is by squeezing and tugging hard on the fitting (or the wires if your careful). It takes a while to get a good grip on it
Battery comes off by just unbolting the bolt on the bracket nearest the front of the car. You can probably just push it back and out the way so you wont have to fiddle with removing the wiring on top
