A drill-mounted spot weld cutter similar to this might come in handy - http://www.harborfreight.com/3-8-eighth-inch-double-sided-rotary-spot-weld-cutter-95343.html

3/8 spot weld cutter and bit to drill pilot holes in each weld.

Remove bumper, open light buckets, remove headligt squeegees, remove 10mm bolts at the outside corners of the headlight openings.

Wipe down the seams, upper and lower. This will help you see the welds. Using cutting fluid, drill a pilot hole in the center of each weld then remove the weld with spot weld cutter. The last one I did took 30 minutes or so.
