I'm considering adding a set now that the dark and rainy season has begun here. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 | 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.

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.

Not sure how it will look, but the lights will be low and protected.
