Fog Light kit install - tips or tricks?

I just received this Fog Light Kit and was looking for tips or tricks on installing the lights themselves. I've got the wiring part of it down pat from many other fog light installations on various cars, but the kit only comes with a wiring schematic, not how & in what order the lights and bezels install onto the car (like once the bezels are installed, do you put the lights in through the bezels from the front, or do they mount behind the bezels)?

I've been talking to XSTUNTMAN, but I don't want to bother him too much about it.

I'm only asking because it's COLD out there in my unheated, unattached garage, and I don't want to be laying on the cold concrete for a few hours figuring it out.

Thanks

Bezels first, then the lens from behind. They should snap in.

Edit: I went out and took pics of how I did mine a while ago with the gen5diy kit. Hope it helps.

I zip-tied the wire from the passenger fog to the right against the bumper to keep things neat.

Edit: fixed pics

Thanks, I think mine is different than yours though. I am adding fog lights to a car that did not have them, so there is no factory harness (BTW, what is labeled 'ground' in your pic is a positive or 'hot' connection).

Ah, you’re correct, that is the positive lol.. my bad. Also, my Camaro didn’t come with fog lights, they were added. I meant that the new harness connects between those two connections, like a bridge. Sorry for not being clearer.

This should help out a lot:
