Default replacing fog light assembly

Can anyone who has a haynes book on hand let me know in advanced how you remove/replace the fog lights in the front bumper? I had gotten a new bumper a few weeks ago, and the fog lights for it are just shipping now. The new bumper is already on the truck, with no fog lights installed. Will I have to remove the bumper again to install them? By the looks of them, it seems to be one little screw that attaches it somewhere?

I had to remove the front bumper facial to replace one of my cracked housings, there are three screws on the top of the bumper under the hood, and Two in each wheel well, then it just pops off, really easy to do, and will make it 100% easier to install the lights.

As you can see in this pic, the light are super easy to get at with the facial removed
