Your welcome...

I wouldn't say it's impossible to do the install without removing the bumper, but with the visibility and the additional bracing and angles in the area where the fog goes I had just had enough.

Steps are just:
1. Remove interior trunk panels
2. Remove taillights
3. Passenger side bumper 2 bolts 2 push pins
4. Drivers side 1 bolt 2 push pins
5. Underneath 2 bolts 6 push pins
6. Carefully remove bumper with placing something to support the bumper if doing it alone

That's pretty much it. Don't doubt it... Do it!

Yeah pretty straight forward getting over the mental aspect of "I'm taking off the bumper of my 40 thousand dollar car to install a 60 dollar light?" Is the real struggle
