The AZ carnhas fog light assemblies ready to go in but first time dealing with these and not sure if I can readily fit them with the front bumper on. Don’t think so but wanted to ask just in case since don’t be needing to create more work for myself....

I think for both early and late bumper cars the bumper has to come off, but let us know which you are working with and we can give you more specific instructions.

Very easy to take the bumper off regardless. Just 4 bolts and the valence screws if needed.

I just removed the bumper on my '71 to mess with the foglights. I used a drywall-type 5 gal bucket to hold the one side up as I removed the final 2 bolts on the other side.

Bungee cords will also work to hold up one end of the bumper.

You can also replace the bolts with threaded studs to make installation easy.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) That's what I did. Piece of cake to take it on/off.
