something I forgot- Mines an 01 and I got a 98 bumper. The fog lights are 100% different. I got it to work by switching the brackets left to right, and reversing them. Not perfect, but they work.

both the same to me, honestly. The 01 (my factory one) had 4 extra mounting bolts that the 98 one doesn't, that go to the side of the frame rails.
