Takes less time to drop the bumper and take it out that reaching in from underneath and trying to get to everything. I can have the front bumper off in 10-15 minutes and put it back on just as fast.

Thanks Doc for the reply. Guess I'll go that way. Wife wants some brighter fog lights anyway so it would make since to remove the bumper like you suggest. One more question. I just need to remove the 8 bolts but do not need to take the center metal bumper bar off or the wheel well covers?

You can just pop out some of the closest fender liner clips to give you some flex to reach the bolts, may not even have to do that.
