Pretty much, I've only taken my passenger side out. Just pull up the two tabs then unplug and you're done.

Taking the headlights out was cake, but WTF do I do with this white thing where the main bulb outlet thingy goes into? Do I just pry it out with some pliers? Bend back those things that are holding it in? I don't want to break anything lol
