Default Bumper fog light mounting

I've been given a pair of Lucas fog lamps that I'd like to fit to my front bumper. Has anyone got any pictures of how you've mounted any? My bumper's a stock bumper so nothing special, it does however have the possibly common, "pushed inwards slightly years ago" feature, so there's less room on the flat top side. I am capable of welding brackets to the front side but would just like to see how others have fitted them for ideas.

Thanks

Mine had buttons in holes that were already there...just pop the buttons out and use the holes.

There certainly isn't enough space for me to use those holes. The fog lights would be pushing into my grill a lot.

1) Move the bumper out...there is some play in the bolts holes that hold it on for alignment purposes.

2) Use a bracket to mount to the holes and mount the light farther out.

Mine aren't much farther out....the light body rests against the bottom of the grill

I'll have to opt with #2. My drivers side bumper mount has a bend in it along with the end of the chassis leg it mounts to, so there is no adjustment I can make to that side.
