2023 OEM Fog Light Bracket Install

[Resident_Ranger]

Hey Everyone, is there a way to remove the fog light delete panel and install the OEM fog light bracket without removing the front bumper. I can get to two of the three bolts. The last one in the top outside position is where its being difficult. Is it possible to get to it from somewhere? Its located about where the arrow is pointing behind the bumper.

Sorry, I'm of no help in that regard. Mine came with fog lights. So I never had to mess with them. Based on my experieince with repairing my front bumper, after a fender bender, and how it is all put together, I'm guessing you're going to need to pull the bumper.

Just finishing up this thread for future people. You do need to remove the front bumper in order to change out the factory fog light brackets or the fog light deletes. Even if you can access the last bolt, there is a lot of overlay parts and pieces that won't let you to pull the fog light bracket off.

I remember pulling the entire front face off the front of our Edge to change the alternator.

They do silly things...

Good on you for getting the job done.
