Default Ek fogs on an eg bumper

This a DIY on how to install EK fogs on an EG bumper. I did alot of research on this conversion and there many different way to this. BEWARE this conversion is a one shot deal unless you have an extra bumper laying around.

Step 1.
Take bumper off.

Step 2.
Get your tools. This is what I used.


Step 3.
Get a fine point Sharpie and draw an outline of the you need to cut like you see in the pic.


Step 4.
I used the cutting discs to make it easy to use the knife for cutting. Start cutting on the line.

When finished pop out what you cut.


Step 5.
Place fog light covers over the holes you cut out. Then get you drill and drill mounting holes for some screws. I did 3 screws for each side.



Step 6.
Turn bumper over and place the fogs lights on the covers. Place the upside down they fit better.

Then screw the lights into the covers.


Step 7.
There are mounting holes in the center plastic of the bumper. Place a screw in the hole. Take two zip ties and tie them around the screw and insert through the hole of fog light bracket. Take the 3rd zip tie wrap it around the other two tighten it. Tighten the screw into the mounting hole keeping underneath the head of the screw.


Step 8.
The lights should be in the right position and they should be on tight.



Step 9.
Take off the bumper support. The bumper will not go on if the support is still on. Take off bumper support.



Step 10.
For some reason the lights were hit the Bumper Support. You need to give it a little trim. Grab a Sharpie and make a mark along the lip.



Step 11.
I went to a muffler shop and got the Bumper Support cut for no charge.



Step 12.
Bolt the Bumper Support back on.



Do a test fit and it slides right on.

Step13.
Relocate the horn underneath passenger headlight.


Step 14.
Wire your lights to a switch. Put bumper back on.

With the lights on.

Wasnt this DIY posted a long time ago? And being that you have to cut the actual metal bumper wasnt a very good idea. Seems pretty rigged to me.

i apologize for getting pissed. tired of getting neg. feedback on this site. H-T is a great resource but also has a lot a--holes. anyway i see your point. i saw a pic on another site i just liked it. plus i was bored and thought it would be fun. i will retract the last sentence in my response.

see this on a nyc1s.com video, but they didnt put any screws through the front fog surrounds, maybe some silicone/glue would be better?
