S5 Foglight install to stock bumper

Hey guys, I bought my s5 and it had a crappy body kit on it. The fogs were just screwed into the bumper.

Now i put the stock bumper on and realized there was no mounting points for the fogs, am i missing a bracket somewhere on the fram or do i have to drill some holes into the stock bumper.

Can someone post a pic of how there's are mounted?

Thanks

If you must fab to install the fogs, you might as well start with some decent lights, not the stockers.
The OEM units are OK if they install in a stock bumper with all the trimmings (i.e., the brake ducting) but the lights are actually pretty pathetic (and use a weird bulb).

It's be much better to use decent lamps (most of which will be easier to mount as well) if you're starting from scratch.
