Default Honda Del Sol fog light placement

I have a '93 Del Sol with an aftermarket front bumper and aftermarket fog lights. When I purchased the car it didn't have fog lights, so i'm not sure how they're supposed to mount or line up. The holes on the front bumper don't seem to be large enough. I was trying to research this and look at pictures and it seems the fogs go behind the bumper, but not sure. Can someone elaborate on this and or post pictures of how they're supposed to mount? Thanks.

Maybe you should post pictures of your aftermarket bumper, front and backside. Hard to advise you sight unseen.

Hard to take photos but here's what I have. I've also tried sandpapering the holes to make them a little larger/smoother but it doesn't do me any good if I don't know how they're supposed to mount.

After doing further research i've found out that I do need brackets in order to mount the fogs to the bumper support bar. They do indeed go behind the bumper and don't even attach to the bumper itself. I'm going to figure out if I can use the crappy plastic ones that came with the lights, though they look different from the ones I saw on a write up on dStuning. Or I may have to get my hands on some OEM ones, not sure.

Well i've come to find out that the foglights are supposed to be bracketed to the bumper suppport bar, and it looks like my del sol doesn't even have that lol. So I need a bumper support bar and new brackets for the fogs I do believe. Blah.
