I need to remove the front bumper cover on my 2013 Nissan Quest in order to replace the headlight assemblies. If anyone has done this, is it a task that can be easily completed by the average person with some mechanical skills? I can't find a video or instructions online, but from what I can tell I only need to remove the bumper cover which is held on with a few clips and screws. I've ordered clips just in case I break a few. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

The biggest pitfall when removing a bumper cover on any Nissan (front or rear) is the plastic pawls that hold the cover to the fender at the seam where they meet. It's a plastic bracket underneath, and when the pawls break or quit holding, the seam won't stay closed. The bracket p/n's for your ride are 62226-1JA0A right and 62227-1JA0A left and they're only $24 list. For an 8-year-old vehicle, I'd have them on hand just in case. To minimize the chance of breakage when you disassemble, have some "wet type" silicone on hand and douse the seam before you split it.

Hope it helps someone.
