Lightbulb Remove Front Bumper 2007 SL550

I need to remove the front bumper on my 2007 SL550 in order to gain access to the xenon light ballast on the passenger side. Does anyone have instructions on how to do this?

First: Remove the grille (4 screws). Then some screws behind the fender. Last the two screws in the near of the fog lights. Then look for a second people, you need more than two hands to pull the bumper without damage anything. There is no youtube video to show this?

Regards

Andreas

Here's the WIS doc:

It's not too difficult. It's easiest if you lift the front end and remove the front wheels.
