Replacing Headlights

Replacing Headlights
One of my HHR's headlight bulbs just burnt out.
I've been wanting to fit new headlights on the car for some time now and this looks like the opportunity, especially considering I'd have to get inside of the wheel well just to change that bad bulb, so it's part-way started juat doing that.
How much of a pain is it to remove the front bumper cover? Do the clips fail the first time they're ever messed with? And is there a good source for the friction fasteners that hold the wheel well liner in place, because one or three of those things usually break every time they're pulled out.
Much obliged.

Good Evening.
Apologies for not responding sooner and I appreciate all the comments from a few weeks back.
I finally got the new headlight assemblies and am getting set to install them, but I have one further question for the group:
The Haynes manual cautions to be mindful of the air bag sensors built into the front end. Rather than disconnect the battery, is there a master fuse for the airbag system than can be pulled to disarm it instead of messing with the battery?
