Check out the 3G garage...if not check out threads started by myself and sixsixfour and there's another member too...very detailed...they def. don't just fit right in without a dremel, some creativity and some patience.

I quoted my post from my buildup thread here: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=715481&page=2 .. there is more info on my install of my fog lights there.. but I only quoted what you said you needed, which was a pic of the actualy cutting required.. some people cut less then me, but this worked for me..

I DID NOT use silver bracket that came with it. I Only used the bottom hole in the housing to screw onto the bumper. Between the grill, this screw, and the aspec lip, the slit I made to catch the upper outter most corner, this fog is not going anywhere lol..




And a shot of the grill (I had to cut a little bit more to get it to fit properly after these pics, but by following this you should be close to what you need):


Notice how far the cut is from the top brcket and how close the cut is to the bottom bracket.

Here is a shot of how close I had to cut to the bottom of the grill. I had to cut like 1mm more to get it to sit really flush:


And here is a pile of garbage left after the install lol:


Looks sooo good!!
