You really CAN get the headlight assemblies out without removing the bumper cover, I have done it many times.
I didn't see the tip about the string on the clamp. I've decided to have the front bumper repainted since there's a lot of rash on the bottom and four holes from license plate mounting plates. The shop is going to remove the headlight assemblies after taking off the bumper, so I can fish out the clamp and replace bulbs. I did the same thing on the SSB. Btw, installed the Kenwood radio and the parasitic draw has been resolved.
