Fog lights or body kit first?

I did check through at least the first 20 pages, could have missed it but did not see a similar question at all.
Question: Assuming I find a body kit I want, would it be a huge ordeal to remove a fitted fog light besel kit from the oem bumper I have now and out into the kit bumper?
Assuming that the bumper from the body kit will match the housing for the fog light kit....

Reason for question: Basically my first car I'm "suiting up" cosmetically. Adding a fog light kit I like was to be my next project on the car. But if it proves to be a head ache to transfer so to speak I am wondering if I should just focus on finding a kit first? I've also seen several kits obviously that either didn't even have voids for fog light kits, or the shape did not at all resemble the stock housing.

Looking for experiences, don't let me make your mistakes haha.

I'd say fogs first. ~$150 for a set with minimal work and it adds lots of depth to the car's lighting, especially if you contrast colors (I went with yellow foglights).

Well I'm probably going to go for some 10000k blues. We don't get a lot of fog here more just for visualization and theme.
