You don't have to take off the head light. Although to take the head light off you have to remove the bumper first.

Look at your manual it will tell you how to replace the signal bulbs. Basically you just turn your wheel to the side remove the clips on the underbody lining and reach up there and unscrew it.

Do you know of a DIY somewhere that will tell you how to actually get the headlights off?
I am having a member of a local car club clear and color match my headlights and need to get them off.
I can get the bumper off (learned from install of CAI), is it pretty much self-explanitory to get the lights off from there?

It's pretty easy just remove one screw from each of the wheel wells, two screws from the center of the bumper (under the hood under the splash guard) and all the plastic clips from the bottom of bumper.

^ its a little different but it comes off the same way. You can see the clips you need to remove once the hood is open, the rest are under the car and in the wheel wells. Just spend a little time looking it over and you will see

I bought turn signals as well, and people were saying you dont have to take off the headlights to put them in, so then how do i put them in without doing all that work of taking the headlights out?
