To fill "voids" (fog lights), yes great foam works great...but i think the key is to resin your "plug" right after you sand it down. Therefore, your "plug" will retain its shape.

then use bondo to smooth out and perfect the edges (unfortunately, this will require hours of sanding).

then you gotta figure something out to mount the "plug" from behind. Its a lot of extra work, but it'll look a lot nicer than "coroplast cut to shape"

I got lucky with my fog lights, the "void" was not that big so i can get away with using "coroplast cut to shap"

I googled the 1999 Forester, it looks like the fog lights almost sit flush with the bumper, so the "coroplast cut to shape and double sided tape" method might work for you
