Its really easy...

First remove the 1 phillips head screw in each wheel well.

Remove the top clips on the bumper (5) if i remember correctly

then theres about another 7 clips underneath the bumber.

once those are removed just pull the bumper out from the fender (it will sound like clips are breaking but they are not. Its is simply unclipping on the side and near the headlight)

to remove the headlight there are 4 10mm bolts on each headlight.

Ive removed my bumper and headlights like 6 or 7 times now and i can get it on and off in about 20 min

The instruction sheets for the base Fit foglight kits also show removal in (drawing, edit) for the US market cars. You can download the PDFs online.

Thanks for this. One more suggestion I would have is to painters tape on the fenders where the bumper connects to the fender because if you're doing the bumper pull by yourself you're going to scratch the crap out of the fenders. Ask me how I know.
