installing fog lights after front bumper is put on...

ok first off im an idiot, i know the mazdaspeed aftermarket bumpers need a specific bracket for installing the oem fog lights. But i was to damn lazy for the past 2 weeks to order them, and now its a little late since my body shop is booked for the 19th.

Is there a way that i can get the body shop to install the oem lights on to the aftermarket bumper?

or

is it difficult to install the fogs after the bumper is installed? i would assume it would be a big pain in the *** trying to put it on afterwards

any suggestions guys?

You just take out some screws and pop it off, first time I did it took 10 minutes or so. Even if there is a way to do it without taking it off, I wouldn't. Taking it off will make putting them on very easy.

well im talking about a aftermarket fibreglass mazdaspeed bumper, not oem. so im not sure if its easy to put back on after the body shop fits it.

im not sure if you have to be pro to "RE-fit" it on again

If you cannot manage to take the bumper off in less than 15 minutes you have no business near a tool box.
