You didn't specify which lights so...

Front lights - easy if you have some basic tools. Bumper removal required.
Rear lights - very simple, no tools required.

Argggg... the lights question again. Front lights (non HID) can be done via the access cover in the wheel arches, but it's much easier if you remove the road wheel. Have a search around the forum. You don't have to remove the bumper (unless changing the fog lamps), but be prepared to spend a long time on the job if it is your first time. Be prepared to cut yourself multiple times doing it.

There are detailed posts with images for the HID models..

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

He specifically states lights, not bulbs.
