Yes it is easier to remove the bumper and you need not take the headlight buckets out to replace the bulb. take the push-pull pins out from the wheel well on the fender side the first three, take all the ones under the bumper to include 3 under the bumper in the middle that are up high (use a flashlight to see then) and the ones on the top. If you don't have fogs you are good to go, if you do unplug the fogs and you can pull it forward to get it off. Honestly takes me 15 minutes tops to take it off. Use a small flat blade screw driver. You have 19 push-pull pins so if your count is less you still have some attached.
There is it no write up needed because the pins are obvious except for the 3 in the middle of the bumper you remove from the bottom.
One last note it is much easier to do this when temps are above 55F since the plastic and pins are more manageable...
