Default F sport bumper conversion assembly DIY?

Hey everyone! I recently ordered the complete list of parts needed for a 2012 F sport bumper conversion on my 09 is250.
I am tasked with the job of assembling this all together!
Does anyone have any insight on how best to approach this? are there any guides in existence that would help?

I was thinking to compare a diagram of the 2012 f sport bumper assembly with that of a 2009 bumper assembly and swap out parts as needed, though I've heard people getting it done without changing out everything!

For reference, the parts that I ordered include some from this list, and I also added a 2012 bumper foam, and a 9006 to H11 converter as 09 fogs are wired differently than 12 fogs.

Your help is appreciated!!!

When i did my front end conversion years back with sewells....most of it kind of snapped in place. (im talking about assemble of bumper off the car)

Fog light bracket gets screwes in and fsport pieces popped and i think a screw or two.

Shouldnt be too difficult

By looking at the parts list, I'm not sure if my order included screws... Any idea on the size and amount I need? Part numbers?
I combed thru my parts list in the first post but I'm not sure I got them. (I will consult a parts diagram too)

Unless we reuse the screws from our original bumper?
