Ordered from the dealer a steel stubby bumper and guard hoop (no end caps) for my 2020 Rubicon Gladiator. I currently have the plastic OEM led fog light bumper. I watched a ton of videos and looks like this is a easy swap. The dealer will be doing it. I wanted to retain my led’s which should snap in to work as this bumper comes with them. Is there any other parts needed to do this? Hate to just bring it home to sit in the box after buying it. Also any issues with the fog lights being so open with no closure to the elements on the back?

Should be an easy swap with no additional items required (especially if dealer is swapping it out.). No issues with open backend LED fogs. Changed mine over from the stock bumper to an after-market and they are on all the time. Trail tested!

Swapped my LED foglights from a plastic bumper to a steel stubby. Is wasn't bad. The only challenge was that there's a lot of wiring running all through that bumper and it's all clipped in. Since I reused the wiring, it was a pain to carefully remove all that.
