what do you mean by "fixing"? if by fixing you mean replace the headlamp bulbs then i would say yes most do-it-yourselfers can replace headlamps fairly easy some parts houses will even install them for free,
but if you mean fixing as in no voltage to the headlamp then its a yes/no answer, why yes and no? because i don't know how much experience you have with tracking down wiring problems etc, here's some common hints to help if you have no voltage at the headlamps check the fuse's there may be 2 or 4 fuses depending on what year it is.
check the headlamp relays.
visually inspect as much of the headlamp wiring you can see for burn, cut, or chaffed wires.

I am a problem with the rear, right side turn signal. The bulb stays on all the timewhether the light sre on?


if you decide to push further then you will need a voltage meter and a good schematic of your headlamp wiring. Haynes manual from most parts stores are easiest to read Chilton's manuals are great also if your more technically inclined.
the main object is to find where the voltage has stopped in most cars it will run something like this , fuse to light switch to relay/or headlamp, if yours runs to a relay then you will need to check for ground - switchable positive voltage "headlamp switch" - constant positive voltage which will be fused again under the hood most of the time in the same fuse box as the relays - output positive voltage to headlamps and whether or not the relay itself is faulty. by this time you should have found your problem and have +12v to the headlamps, most common failures with headlamps are bad bulbs, bad fuses, bad relays, faulty headlamp switch on the dash or multi switch on steering column, i have found few problems to be from the wiring itself unless the car has been wreaked then check all wires.
