Default mounting fog lights on front bumper

Hey guys im new to the 4 wheeling world,i own a 1986 mustang drag car and have done everything to it,well my son is 15 and he has bought a 1994 jeep Grand cherokee 4x4,the first thing we have in mind is mounting some new fog lights on the bumper ,it has the plastic factory one on it,and is very hard to get into,so we are gonna have to take the cover off to mount them,i have made to alum plates one for the top and one for the bottom so we can sandwich it between the bumper cover.does anyone have pictures of theres so that we can see what its gonna look like ,and maybe a lil feed back on what kinda crap you went through to do yours?Thanks In advance for any help.
Thanks David

Not sure about zj's but you should just be able to drill a couple of holes and bolt them straight to the bumper. I also noticed youre in dalton about 20 mins from me so if you need some help, i wouldnt mind lending a hand if i can ever find some time off work

well someone has taken and cut the bumper about 1 inch long and 1 inch wide,so im gonna try and cover these 2 holes with the alum plates,Trying to get a nut on under the cover is gonna be the problem.And thanks for the offer for help,i may just take you up on that offer one day.
Thanks David

You may just be better off taking the bumper off to get to those tough nuts
