Replacing front bumper

I have an O7 STX. Pretty simple truck. I have to turn the lights on manually. I put lights inside my cab which I have now taken out. I ran the wire from the lights to the switch to turn my lights on. I stripped the wire a bit and twisted it and stuck it next to the factory wire. So whenever I put my lights, running lights or head lights, my cab lights would come on. I couldn't tell you how to do a new switch but I'd like to know. Thinking about putting some lights behind the grille. You could do that to. Just make a bracket for the lights. I can't seem to find the thread some guy posted who had a truck similar year to ours. He did what I was thinking and gave step by step instructions with pictures.

Here's what I do know. I've been gathering parts for this. You need to be careful with the switch. A few years ago I picked up a new one for this reason and instead of the connection being a square it was circle. I not sure when ford switched. I'm just going to use a separate switch now. Just need the bumper and add wiring now.

If it is the corners of the bumpers by the fender wells, that is fixable, its not aligned properly. Loosen the 4 large nuts on the bumper brackets ( two per side ) a few turns until you can wiggle the bumper up and down, and have someone help angle it and verify that you have an equal gap on each side.
