Yes. You can change bulbs without taking the headlamp apart. See DIY.

^ +1 You can reach up in there if you turn the wheel all the way to the inside, pull back on the front half of the lining, twist the bulb holder 1/4 turn counter clockwise and pulll it out. There should be enough slack in the wire so you can replace the bulb.
