Default total newbie needs advice

Hi, I am totally new to this forum and to doing anything to my Scion. i have a 2005 Scion xA. This has been my daily driver and is a great car 159,000 miles and the car hasn't cost me a dime. I got frustrated with the yellowing headlamps and ordered some Depo ones online. I am now realizing I have to drop the bumper cover in order to install these things. Any hints? I am a little worried about the plastic little holders for the grille and bumper, can I get replacements at an auto parts store? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to drop this bumper and not be able to get it all back together! It is my only car.

the plastic clips/holders can be purchased at any auto parts store but ebay has deals where you can purchase 20pcs for cheap.

Just a word of encouragement. I was also apprehensive the first time I dropped the bumper to change the headlights on my 06 xb. It's all straight forward. Just take your time and don't force things. These cars are some of the easiest to work on currently on the road!

OK cool. Found the little plastic rivets at O'Reilly ... told you I'm a newbie. This car has been so reliable I haven't had to worry about anything except oil and gas.
