It's a tight fit, but doable without removing the battery.

I have upgraded both the fogs and highs to LED replacements, but I never use the highs. The fogs actually put out much more light on the road.

I replaced my battery recently. Removing it is quite easy to do . Loosen and remove the negative and positive clamps, then a single hold down bolt. All three are easily accessible from above. Then lift the battery right out. So don't let the possibility of having to remove the battery stop you from changing a headlight bulb yourself.

I have replaced 9005 & 9006 LED bulbs over a year and half ago. They are way better than traditional halogen. Straight plug and play. See below the link.
