Um, yea. I'd like to do this and can quite figure out how it would be possible with out removing the entire bumper. Is there a neat trick to getting them in there?
Thanks!
Thanks!

hmm. Well the brackets have preinstalled bolts. This makes installation difficult since you'd have to reach in and around the front bumper to attach the nuts on the other side. I'm not sure if it's possible without complete front bumper removal.
I suppose I should ask can you remove the brackets w/o removing the bumper. Cause if you can get them off I should be able to get them back on!

No it's not Turbo'd
Yeah and so does a Front Mount... but that doesn't stop people from putting them on....
I'm sure a little bulb in the fron't will rob you of a maximum of .0001 HP.... you're talking about a tiny bit of tourbulance and some wind resistance... I Dare anyone with the $$$ to do a dyno with and without Foglights....
I think a more valid question is, do you like the Look With/or/Without them.... Performance / Radiator cooling ability isn't an issue unless you block the entire front intake...
Oh and as to the post.... the Front bumper where the foglight bracket is attached, has a metal "skin" behind the fibreglass... just take some sheet metal screws, make the hole a bit too small and attach... worked for my Hella DE kit like a charm... and I fished the wires through with a coat hanger and fishing wire....
Worked Great !
