Yes. "Simple" procedure if you pull the front bumper cover off, as others have stated. The light assembly itself is held-on with 4-5 screws, remove those, unplug frorm wiring harness, and you are done. On my 2015 GTS I had the bumper cover off to install Rennline mesh grills and found that one screw was missing on the driver side. Easy enough to replace.... if you need the official repair shop manual, give a shout.
Reviving an older thread.
Does anyone know conclusively what it takes to replace one of these front lights?
I noticed that I have a chip in my "new to me" 2015 GTS. It is not really all that noticeable (took me three weeks to notice it) but it is going to bug me, so I would like to replace it.

I am not much of a wrench and while the video I watched looked straight forward, I have a long history of breaking things when trying to take things apart. I may live with the small chip for the time being.
Interestingly enough, the car has mesh grills installed, so I am guessing the PO must have had the front bumper cover off at some point. I didn’t realize those were not stock until reading about them here.
