Depends on the type of door(brand). the age of the door. Every one is different. G

Changing the glass in a sidelight is easy. Just pull the stops, change glass and re-install stops. Different thichness shouldn't be a problem.

If the sidelights are single pane check the rabbets to make sure there is enough room for the stops after ading additional glass thickness
