LOL Alp i just tried that this past weekend. I still have the fiber glass housing but the fog i've got are too big and heavy i don't want to drill the bumper and they won't stay in the housing since i did the housing on the pumper insteaded on the fog lights. I'll give it a try next weekend and if doesnt come out good i guess you are going to have to make another pair and sale it to me
I could not use the brackets that came with the lights either. I actually fabricated some brackets to bolt the lights to the main bumper support, making them very solid. They do not bounce or flicker at all.
These lights came with a trim bezel that snaps onto the front of the projector. That trim bezel was used along with the ABS knockout replacement I made to give me the frame.
Grill cloth was stretched over it and superglued to give me the basic shape to work with. Polyester resin was applied to the grill cloth and a single layer of fiberglass mat w/ additional resin applied for strength. Once cured, the hole was cut for the projector lens to show thru using a Dremel tool. Now the entire bezel can securely snap directly onto the projector housing without any additional mounts to the vehicle just like the original bezel did.
Next was to sand the high spots down with 40 grit. A thin film of bondo was applied to fill the low spots and sanded smooth with 120 grit. Polyester primer was used to fill pinholes or sanding lines and then sanded with 220 grit. Following that was a coat of epoxy primer to give me a hard shell seal primarily to hide any bondo shrinkage that may occur as well as a surface ready for base/clear without the need for additional sanding. SSM base coat was applied and then two coats of clear. Snap em on after the paint cures (about 8-12 hours) and that's what you get.
