    This one's mine...a lil different but same idea. Aluminum from lowes, bent by hand, drilled the holes for the side plugs, then tapped the bottom hole 1/4-20 and the screw presses against the light to hole it.

    So I went to Lowes and got some 1/16" thick aluminum and bent it to form and drilled holes to have the tabs fit. It looks like in the 1st pic they used 1/8", but I was unable to bend it by "hand". After that the light seemed a little loose sitting in the bracket.....I'm sure 1/8 would be perfect but whatever. So as I was looking at the fog and trying to figure out what to do. Out of the corner of my eye I saw my tubes of JB Weld in the garage, so I JB Welded the bolt to the fog and will install the light sans bracket. With a tensile strength of 3,960 psi I'm pretty sure that the bolt won't be moving/breaking off. Here is what the final look of the mounting looks like and I will install the lights tonight :)

    Ok so I got the fog lights installed last night. Wish I would have done it with the bumper off as it was a tight fit for my arms and hands reaching into the back of the bumper. Had to go buy a stubby ratcheting wrench to get the job done. Much easier than making a bracket for the Allpro bumper. :D
