Default I have a 2008 F150 Can I switch my bumper to the bumper with the driving lights?

Hey Guys, Quick question here. I have a 08 F150 and recently had a deer jump out in front of me. Wasn't much of a dent but can't stand knowing that I have the damage. My bumper does not have the round cut outs for the driving lights so I figured it might be a good time to switch out the bumper and replace it with the model with the lights etc... Going to buy a new front bumper and I found the model with the driving lights and all the brackets for only around $300. Of course i would have to wire up a switch and all that but my main concern is will the bumper with the driving lights bolt right on my truck with no modifications? Figured it would be a exact fit but wanted to make sure.

Yep.. bolt right up.. you may even find the fog light wires under there.. you will need a new dash switch.. one with the fog position and check for the correct fuse.

^^this. The factory harness should have the plugs already there for fogs. Just go to a junk yard to get the fog/headlight switch.

I don't know if it is significant, but the lights in the bumper are fog lights, not driving lights. I'm unsure if there is a reflector to accomplish the driving light function.
