Yes you can get to the bulbs without removing the whole assembly...
I did it and these are exact directions, I replaced my fogs and blinkers.
Courtesy of Edify11:
For the driver's side, you need to free up some space by removing the intake. After the intake is removed, you should have enough space to get to the lamp. Just turn the harness and you'll have access to the bulb. There is a ground cable that may get in the way as you pull the harness out, you can remove this with a 10mm socket. For the passenger side, first remove the plastic finisher that covers all the fluid reservoirs. The clips come off pretty easily. Pop up the middle with a flathead screwdriver and the clips can be removed. Then you need to remove the the reservoir for the coolant. Two 10mm bolts keep it in place. You don't need to remove it completely, just pull it off to the side so you can work. Be careful you don't tip it the wrong way or it'll leak. After the reservoir is removed, you may want to remove the front metal bracket that holds the reservoir in place. If I remember correctly, it's another 10mm bolt. Just like on the driver's side, the ground cable may get in the way again, so you can remove it with a 10mm socket. That's pretty much it.
