I had these on my bugeye - http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...rs/spoiler.jpg

they were secured with a bracket which fitted using 1 of the origional foglight mounting bolts and a bolt them went through the cover into the other end of the bracket

I just got some mesh covers like robby. Although the fog light bolts are so tight I need to buy a decent wrench set to get the damn things loose.

Mine came with the brackets included. Where did you get them from, they should have been included? Try asking the vendor for them.

if you can't get the brackets (although JDL should supplt them) you could get a long bolt which with a washer should go through the foglight cover hole and into the top bolt hole (after removing origional bolt) holding the foglight in

You could try Precious Metal Online in Pontefract, they have kits on the shelf, and may be able to sell you the brackets separately....

Tell Dunx told you to try them !
