It'll be more work than you may think. The bumper has to come off and there are a whole lot of nuts, screws and bolts to remove. Right behind the bumper, there are 2 bolts that needs to be removed for the light housings to come out.

I had a schematic of how the front end is put together, but seemed to have lost it.

Yeah I looked through the service manual link in the sticky.
Nothing I haven't done before on other cars, just wanted some tips for this one.

You have to remove the grille, the front bumper cover and both fender liners.

It's best to buy new clips. I think there's about 18 or so clips.
