man they are in there wrong they not supposed to look like that!!
did u notice when mounting the brackets that it basically says where to place everything and what to cut what u need not cut???
I think u might have cut something wrong not sure tho

I kept the photos big so that you can see the detail clear enough. Click the thumbnail for the full image.

Looking at the foglight from the center of the grille.


Looking at the back of the foglight from behind the bumper.


DEPO and Esuse foglights next to each other (DEPO on left, Esuse on right).


How they look on the car. The installed foglights above and the installed foglights in this image are the Esuse foglights.

Hope this helps out.

In this pic. You see the 2 screws at the top of the fog light housing. There is a plastic piece on your bumper that the fog light assembly screws into. I cannot tell by your pic if it is attached properly.

Eran had squares before and has switched to rounds. The rounds have completely different mounts (the metal parts), but the mounting points are all the same. He did not have to do any extra cutting or any type of modification to put them on his car.

So no, it's not the directions.

The rear of the foglight mounting area makes it look like there are parts that were removed from the top that should not have been. The one side also has some sort of replacement bracket that's not the right bracket.

i know NOFX, i did that cuz the place to get that bracket again is too far from my house, i'm going tomorrow there to get it and get the dash button for the fogs too, i did the cutting the same like round fogs thing and the bracket mount there perfectly, just i dont know why they hang diffrently, i adjusted them a bit and they look better now, i never did anything like this before and i'm kinda proud that i did it myself

What exactly did you cut in the first place?

Because it really doesn't look right.

You cut too much. You weren't supposed to cut the two pieces at the very bottom.





The tabs at the bottom of the foglight slides into the slots. You cut the piece out that keeps the bottom in place.

The round ones use those too, so it's not the directions.
