I found that if you take the headlights out, or at least un-mount them, it is really easy. It's only 4 bolts that are a lot easier to get too. (maybe the bolt up top by the grille for the bumper too).

I would also rather take the bumper of and the headlights out than fight with them the way they have them mounted if I couldnt do it by un-mounting the headlight.
