Default ef sedan foglight fitment im havin issues!!

alright well i got a 90 ef sedan usdm front and i did the "prelude fog" look-a-like mod with the good ol fogs from autozone.

anyways im curious on how to mount these bad boys, i got the holes cut out below the bumper lenses and the light assembly fits all the way in and i was able to drill out the bottom of the bumper (where the lip bolts would go) and i can attach the lights that way. the only problem im having is that the light move! there is no way to keep these things completely stationary.

if anyone has done this mod let me know. i used to have the holes cut out to the point where i'd ehave to shove the lights in so yea there were stationary but i couldnt allign them whatsoever. i cut the holes a little bit bigger so i would have more room to allign but now im too the point where i have just TAD bit too much room for them to be snug.

any help is appreciated.

easiest way to mount the fog lights would be to find a proper spot on your bumper support and drill out some holes on the right and left side. mount the lights and cut out an outline a little bit bigger than the lights.


PS if your lookin for some usdm oem fog lights with oem brackets for EF pm me i have a couple sets im gonna be selling soon.

those cut outs are only for the oem fog lights, if i remember correctly i think the autozone fog lights are smaller than the oem lights. so if you already cut the holes out place the lights as best you can to the center of the holes, mark where they sit and drill a hole in the support.

the holes cut are to the dimensions of the autozone lights. i didnt cut the huge hole like the outline on the back of the bumper cover haha.

i had the lights in once, with the bolt on the bottom of the light going thru the bottom of my bumper (lip holes) but the holes i cut were a little small so i had no room for adjusting so i took em out, made the holes bigger, now here i am trying to mount.

Like others have said in this thread, I've used the Autozone ones before and I had to mount them to the bumper support.

The foam may not be there, especially if your bumper has been taken off before (people tend not to put it back). That write up should help a little bit but look for My_EFsedan build thread. He's done this multiple times and has some documented pix.
