It should be mostly the same. I’ve tried to see if there were alternate ways to swap the fogs without having to take the front bumper off. No luck.
Have you done the fog light upgrade yet?

1) I feel like calling this a DIY mod is about the same as calling it a DIY car wash or a DIY fuel tank replenish. It is just bolting on someone else's work.
2) This can't be done without removing the bumper first to remove the valance. You could possibly leave the 3 screws out of the valance the first time and break off all the tabs so you can remove it later without removing the bumper but I wouldn't suggest it. The whole process isn't very difficult. I changed out my lights last week. Took an hour and 15 minutes from start to finish.
3) I went with the WD bracket rather than the BD bracket as it looks more finished off. I love Baja Designs stuff, every single added light on my rig is BD, but Westcott got the bracket design better in my opinion.

The picture below is a few weeks old. I changed out the inner set of S2's last week for spot beam lenses. I don't know what I was thinking exactly when I originally decided all of them should be wide angle cornering. The coverage is much better with a combo.

I’m wondering what you mean by WD brackets looking more finished off than the BD
