Default My poor bumper
The biggest body problem with my truck is the bumper and push bar. I haven't had time to get into it. Does anyone have experience changing out a front bumper on an F-150?

I presume it is similar to my old 2005 F250 which had four bolts on each side of the frame. Impact wrench helps.

They're easy to swap. I've done the rear bumper which I believe had 3 bolts per side

Excellent. I'm assuming the fog lights are just a simple plug, correct?

Yessir! It's really not too difficult, I've swapped fog light housings in my bumper before because I melted some with HIDs

You're welcome! Haha. Yeahhhhh not advisable to run them in there. The bulb sits too close to the lens and will melt it. That was before I retrofitted my headlights.
