Any of you with the L-bumper fogs...how do you mount them to the bumper? I got my set in a few days ago and tried to put 'em in yesterday. I found 2 holes in the bumper (hidden by the bumper cover) and noticed that they are pretty wide, not very deep and didn't seem to be threaded at all. I also noticed that while the 2 holes in the bumper seemed to be the same size,while the 2 holes on the foglight bracket are different sizes. If I can't get an idea soon, I'm thinkin' about just using some heavy duty screws (2" or so) and washers to hold 'em in through the existing holes in the bumper.

My 2nd problem is that I wanna find the easiest way to wire them up so that they depend on the parking lights to be on. It would be easy enough just to wire them up with pwr and a switch, but I don't want/need them to be able to be on all the time.

Pardon me if there is already a post covering these things, but I've spend a long time reading through post after post and all I could find were DIY's & stuff for people that already had fogs installed, not any going in from scratch.

I would appriciate any help I could get with this.

I've got an L with factory projector style fogs. If those are the ones your talking about. Can you take pics of the holes you're talking about?

Yup, those are the ones I'm talkin' about...I'll see if I can take some when I get home from work.

Actually, I just went ahead and screwed 'em in (went pretty well) and wired 'em up this morning.
