How are you guys mounting the fog lights on your Task Force era trucks?

I'm considering adding a set now that the dark and rainy season has begun here.

It's only my opinion, but I've never thought that fog lights could add anything to the looks of a vehicle so I try and hide them best I can and I've put them on about everything I've owned.
I would make a bracket and get them under the bumper,set back just a little, so they're not seen so well.
Fogs are meant to be low to get under the fog. If you can't make a bracket try a welding shop.

If it's a driver, mount 'em where they work best. Under the bumper is OK as long as they don't get hit often. Size and shape of the lights will help determine best look...

If you can't fix it with a hammer and screwdriver, you need a bigger hammer.

Here's how I mounted mine. This is an older pic, I've actually made a new bracket since. The brackets are made from some 2x3 aluminum angle, with the right hand one useng the original license plate bracket holes in the splash panel for mounting. The bracket I made to replace those, which had a tendacy to wave arround a bit due to lack of rigidity, is a one peice the goes across the top of the bumper, and is very rigid. It mounts in the same holes as the originals I made. I'll try to get a pic up of the new one.

The Accessory manual shows how to mount fog lights, so at one time they must have been an option for Task Force trucks (at least for 1957).

I haven't done it yet, but I am planning to cut holes in my bumper and weld some round pipe in to hold the fog lights in. Not sure how it will look, but the lights will be low and protected.
