How to fit foglights on IPL bumper without slim tank

Has anyone found any ways to fit the foglights on the IPL bumper without buying the $150 slim washer tank? I don't know about you guys but $150 for a piece of plastic is a lot to me.

Take a heat gun and heat up the tank and then crush it. Just be careful to make sure you don't put holes in it.

Not sure if youre being sarcastic, but i swear i was considering doing the exact same thing for my 2011 sport bumper swap.

Tell me youve done this, and it actually worked, so i could save some money and not purchase a new washer tank.

Just buy one ... Why spend the time and money melting the old one, if you ruin it you have to buy one anyway.
