My other thought was, have you ever opened a package and there was a protective sheet of really-thin foam? What if I took a sheet of that, lined my fog light socket with it, and then sprayed foam? The two types of foam would bond and then I could work that, if I needed to.

Maybe this?

This place has them cheaper, although I do not know about shipping and handling: Anti-Static Air Foam Dispenser Packs at TriSupplies

Those sheets are 12 or 24" across.

What do you think?
That seems like a good idea. I would only be concerned about making a good seal, and the foam not breaking through. When I used Great Stuff on my GT front end, with (what I thought was) a good protection set, it broke through the news paper layer and foil layer and tape. It was rather difficult to clean up.
