Do the headlights have to be removed before the wiper motors can be removed?

no, take off the wiper arms. Pull the panels off from under the headlights & you'll see 2 bolts in the recess (1 each side of the wiper stalk) then remove the motors thru the engine bay, they are a tight squeeze to get them out

Bolt cutter would be easier if not needed.
Why are you removing?.

If you're taking them off for cosmetic reason and they work, then I'd be interested in them. I'll PM you.

Gotta agree with that, I ended up taking loads of other stuff out just to make more room.

Yeah, I did mine a few weeks back when I took my headlamps out to clean the inside of the lenses. Its a real pig of a job to maneuver them out - the drivers side one is a very very tight fit and fouls on the rigid plastic cable channelling, radiator and inner wing. It took me as long removing both headlamps as it did to remove this one motor :( Lets put it this way - it ain't going back in :D

Not sure if they work or not, car didn't have any headlight wiper arms on it when I bought it. So just thought about ditching the motors.

They do work, but they were out of sink, I tried taken them off without breaking the arms but didnt manage. I would blank them if it was me.
