they are both easy, there is no diffeicult side. 3 bolts on each, and then u just pull the side light bulb out and the headlight plug, and then the wiring for the levelling motor.

Theres 3 fixing points on standard lamps. one bolt on the top by the indicator, one bolt that attatches through the bumper, and then theres a long lug that pops into a plastic clip at the bottom of the light

Why would you need to re-level them afterwards?

I thought all the adjustments are internal so by removing the headlamp you're not affecting anything.

I've had mine swapped over each year for the MOT and it's been fine.
