    Before I bought this bumper, I researched the various ways stock fog lights had been modified to fit. I thought I'd add my solution to the mix.

    The first step was a liberal use of the Dremel to remove the four mounting tabs. This allows the light housing to fit all the way into the bumper opening. I found that a nice IPA pairs well with the smell of burning plastic.

    Next I fab'ed up some small brackets out of some scrap flat stock.

    The brackets attach to the light housing with hose clamps. After this pic. I reapplied the Dremel to remove the leftover mounting material. This allowed me to adjust the light's position in the bumper.

    Here's the finished product mounted and ready to go.

    I may add 2 small self tapping screws through the hose clamps for insurance, but the mount seems solid. At least it passed my rigid wiggle-it-real-hard-and-see-if-it-moves test.
