    So I got a arb bumper with fog lights and there really is now way to mount them in. I might have the wrong fog lights. Any help would be great.

    Not sure if these crappy views will help but they are the only pics I have handy.

    What hardware did you use? Because I didn't get any hardware to use. I'm thinking I got the wrong model of fog lights?

    In your second pic, a long, skinny black screw goes through the hole (above the light at the 2 o'clock position in the pic), through a spring, and into the little screw holder in the light. The spring applies tension between the surround and the light. Adjusting the screw aims the light. I thought it was kinda crappy when I put mine together, but it works fine and seems to be holding up.

    You can see the yellow spring in gnyla's middle picture...it's at the 10 o'clock position..the picture is of the opposite light or taken in a different orientation than yours.

    Make sure you leave like a half inch between the bumper and the fenders. Miss it on the wide side.

    Good luck!

    Yeah I guess I just didn't get the hardware with it then. Because there is no screw long enough included. I'll go to a hardware store tomorrow and see if I can find a screw. Thanks guys :)

    Don't forget the springs. Anything close will work for now, then you can call ARB and they will surely send you the right stuff.

    Good luck!

    The Springs are good. The only issue I'm having is the fog lights

    No man, I mean the springs for the lights (that go around the screws you are looking for).

    You'll get it. Good luck!
