Frodo ,
No they are not held in with duct-tape .
They are held in with the tool you keep in the trunk waiting for them

here are the steps :

Jump in car
Pull off fuse box cover
Pull out positive clip and attach 12v and the hood pops
Jump out of car and open hood
Pull back carpets and remove rubber bungs
Insert headlight tool and do a quarter turn
Do another quarter turn on other headlight .

Viola !!!

Maybe my one minute estimate was a little low ?
Maybe ill grab a motorcycle battery and headlight tool and time myself ?

I figured it took me 30 seconds to pop my hood when the battery was flat and it takes me around 30 seconds to remove a headlight so in a rush both could be gone in a minute ....
