Mounting Fog Lights on s4?

I've got a s5 bumper cover on my s4 and want to fit my recently purchaced factory s5 fog lights.

How do I mount the fog lights? Do I need to source a s5 something(fiberglass bumper reinforcement)? or can I make it work without that. What should I do?

Any help is much appreciated
Cheers, Stu.

ps. Anyone got a s5 lip spoiler(IN NEW ZEALAND!)

I would say just go to lowes, or home depot and by some L brackets and make some brackets yourself, then paint em black. Once your mount the fogs you cant see em anyway.

Mine bolted right into the bumper, no problem. My problem now is wiring them without hacking my harness.

You don't have to hack the harness at all. Mount the lights in the brake duct holes, there should be holes in there that are threaded for the 10mm bolts you find all over the car. Take red from the battery, its right there, to the relay and mount the relay right where all the factory relays are, its like a foot away, and find or make a hole in an inconspicuous place for ground. Optima and other batteries have extra terminals you can use for accesories. Wire the lights. Run two wires back throught the firewall and under the carpet to the factory switch. The only wires you can even see are the ones to/from the switch. If you make them black you can hide them easily in the engine bay. This leaves you free to remove the entire thing later without having to mess with anything stock on the car.

I'm a mechanical idiot and even I managed fine on this one!
