Default 08 to 12 f sport conversion question

I have luxury pack with headlamp and park sensor. The bumper i bought is used and didn't have the option on them. Can i just cut the hole to fit them on?

You'd probably also have to mount the headlamp washers and the sensors inside the bumper, and I'm not sure if the new bumper has those mounting spots. But even if it doesn't, you can probably get some brackets made, if anything.

Yeah I'm thinking I should be ok. I forgotten how the inside bumper look like. Just wonder if I can run the hoses like it original bumper from one end to the other.

the brackets are on the sensor themselves, so it should have nothing to do with the bumper and you should be fine if you just cut the bumper

Another question i know the 2012 run H11 bulb on the fog and the 08 run 9006. My question is for those who have done the conversion did you use a conversion 9006 to h11 harness?

I couldn't see why you can't use that harness.
