Ray and Mike,
The engineers got right. Make the job as difficult as possible for the DYI person, and as much profit for the dealer/garage as possible.
I have always done my own car maintenance, and it's beyond my understand how average income persons can afford to have the dealer do all their vehicle maintenance.
Maybe there's a secret in life I failed to learn.

Just did it for the first time less than a month ago. (Owned the car, a 2008, for 5 years.) It took me about 4 hours but I did both sides.
For info for other readers, the first step in headlight bulb replacement on this model Malibu is "Remove the front bumper." Poor design for maintenance.
GMC content... The Malibu is reported to be good for a towd but a little heavy at close to 4000lbs.
