Bumper Replacement

The other day I went outside and noticed that my front bumper, bumper cover, tow hook and front license plate bracket was damaged. Only thing I can think of is someone hit my car in the parking lot at the bowling alley the night before. I was extremely pissed since its a 05 XLT with less than 3000 miles on it. Im over it now and may fix this my self besides having the front bumper cover sprayed at a auto body shop. The question I have is that I do not have fog lights on my truck. Since I gotta replace the bumper I was thinking of getting a 05 bumper with fog inserts or even better an 06 bumper with the round fog inserts if it is possible. Can this be done? If I can how would the fogs wire up and would they turn on like they were from the factory? If anybody has done this please reply. If you have a write up with pictures on this install please post them. Also whats the best website to get genuine ford parts for the cheapest cost?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

You probably won't get any responses in this forum regarding your bumpers. So I'll point you in the right direction. Go to the 04-06 forum and look for FX4&Excursion. He has several posts on switching bumpers and all the parts, prices and info you'll need.

Best of luck!

Duke
