You can get aftermarket and OEM fog light kits on Amazon and Ebay. You can also get the OEM kit on GM parts sites like gmpartsdirect.com. I got my fog light kit from the dealer. It was part number 95248415. Not sure if it is the same kit for your Cruze, but you can ask your dealer to look up the correct part number for you.
Rear drums are actually pretty good and should last a long time. I doubt that you would notice any improvement in braking by switching to disks. Some people are intimidate by drums because there are a couple springs and clips, but the shoes are actually pretty easy to change. There are a ton of videos online that show how to do it correctly. It doesn't take much longer than changing pads on disk brakes. It is important to understand that the drum brakes are automatically adjusted every time you pull the parking brake lever. There is a thread on this forum that explains how to adjust them manually.
Do a Google search for the door panel. There are literally dozens of videos that show how to do it. Here is one I found for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv4U_67auzQ
The Cruze service manual recommends replacing the plastic panel clips when you remove the door panel. Most people don't. I decided to try it, and I noticed that the panel is tighter and doesn't rattle as much with new clips. You can get them cheap on Amazon. There are two types used in the Cruze door panels
Yellow clips: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AYCVD8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Grey clips: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007AYCV92/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For the dent, I recommend calling a local paintless dent repair person. They do a great job.
