Question S5 factory foglight install

HOW? I bought an 89 vert and did not come with the foglights. I bought some and am trying to put them in. What are all the parts that i need. Also what does it bolt to. I have the stock wiring and everything. I just need to mount the damned housings.

It's complicated.
There is a bracket that mounts a bracket that holds the fixture.

I just bought some 55 watt "burners" from Wal-Mart for $15, and mounted them to the duct.

I just saw the picture.
The bracket on the lower left is for a generic fixture. The others are stock Mazda.

The only problem with the stock fixture is the hard to find light bulb.

Without the bracket that mounts the holder in the picture, you may have to get creative.

I'm not sure, but I may have kept the ones I removed from the 91NA.

We're getting ready to hunker down for hurricane Frances, so I may not be able to get back until after Monday.

what you are missing is the part that I am pointing at...the part in front of the light (in your pic) attaches to the back of the fog light and the part in my pic attaches the whole thing to the bumper

Hey Ken....... If you where smart you would do what i have done, if you havent already. Become apart of many forums so you get more answers in a shorter time. Maybe you have no life and can spend hours upon hours staring at the screen. For the rest of us this is what we do.

That would be awesome if you could hook me up with those. I really need them before the 23rd of this month.
