Yes you can replace the headlight lens itself, but it's difficult to get the headlight assembly out without removing the front bumper. I didn't remove the bumper, but I had to unscrew the headlight wiper motor from the bottom of the headlight housing in order to get it out without taking the bumper off. The screws were kinda hard to get to. My lenses came from FCP Groton, and I ended up getting two, because they did not have DOT lenses, only European lenses, as apparently the DOT lenses can't be sold seperate of the housing for some reason. The European lenses work great making the light beam more focused. Before I reinstalled my headlight assemblies with the new lenses I had clear 3M plastic put on them to protect them from rock chips. Do a search here and you should find more information about the lens replacement...
