LED fogs installed

I finally bought a set of these 70mm universal morimoto LED fogs (from TRS) for my 09. I was slightly disappointed when I realized that the mounting bracket that comes with the fogs was not gonna work with the mounting points in the stock bracket. So I made it work somehow lol its not the best way, as I'm sure someone here can make corrections/suggestions and or improve the way I did it. I didn't want to cut open my stock fogs to retrofit these inside because I didn't have the necessary tools to cut open the housings. Over all, Im happy with he way they turned out. I'll post pics soon. If anyone is interested I can possibly do a write up on how to. Below is the end result. It looks off centered mounted on the bracket but it needs to so that it sits centered once it's back on the bumper.

I was thinking of purchasing these, but they said it wouldn't fit my 2010 so I didn't, can you post more pics on the car and with them on. what color is the lights and do you find it brighter then the current foglights?

These are some more shots of the lights and fitment. Took 5 or 6 trips to home depot for the right size bolts.
These are the universal 70mm fogs. TRS sells a direct fitment for 2011 and up tsx so that one won't fit ours but this one will. Notice a slight gap around though. I'll probably make something to cover that but it's not that noticeable.

I bought the Morimoto fogs for a Nissan Frontier that specified the correct year. When I receieved them, they were just a universal set without any rhyme or reason to the mounting points......

i fuggin just ziptied that mufucka to the inside of the frontiers bumper. 2 years so far and they havent budged.
I used like 8 industrial strength zipties

I thought about zip ties too but didn't think it would be steady, as in y he light would be bouncing. Does urs have any play with the zip ties?

I am planning on purchasing a set for my 2011. Those should be a direct bolt on, with no modification correct?
Did you have to remove the bumper? All of the resources I found online state bumper removal is necessary.

TRS sells a set for 2011 and up tsx, it says its a direct swap. And yes bumper removal is required so u have room to see what ur doing.
