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.

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.
