Help with 03 CL fog light install

I plan on inserting the fog light lens' from an 01 CL on my 03 Cl. Do the fog inserts and the fog lens bolt on to the bumper the same place with the same screws? Thanks in advance.

Thanks because I already ordered the lens, but never ordered the screws. I assumed they mounted onto the bumper the same way with the same screws.

I know, but thanks 4 the heads up p.diddy. Im putting HID's in the fogs this weekend. Ill post pics up first thing next week. After the HID's and the taillight tint, the only project left is the supercharger or 3.6ing my motor.

If you read MrFluffy's post about how he dealt with the heat issue. He drilled 2inch holes to dissipate the heat.

local member put 3k HIDs in his road lamps without melting. The housing is quite warm but there are holes on top to release the heat buildup. Just make sure no water gets inside either.
