I bought 4 QuadFire lights and using the stock supporting brackets (horizontal fog lights)
I mounted the lights in such way so the tip of the corner didn't sit past the bumper edge. I used thick L plates from a local big chain home improvement store. And spray painted those black.

Took some thought, but as you can see it turned out perfect.

How are you guys wiring these up? Aux switch or using the factory switch?

I wired them up to two separate switches, as my truck did not come with fog-lights, I bought a new bumper with brackets. But I found a spot to mount them, I will take pictures of the way I mounted the lights as well as switch locations tomorrow.

Have been working on this forever. Tried finding "L" brackets but couldn't find any that would work. So I tried taking apart the lens to fit in there, and couldn't get those apart. So finally I decided to do it this way (I'll post a picture) which I ran across on another forum. A friend of mine is making the brackets for me and they're almost done. Other photo is from the test fit before I sent them back to him for drilling.

That's in the list of stuff for my truck too. It's a long list. Haha

Two L brackets with a thick bolt holding them onto the stock foglight housing.




You can see (very poorly) the back side two L brackets, with a slight s connecting the two L brackets together.


Apologies I did not have time to take these off to show, just too busy at the moment. I will show better images in the next day or two. Showing exactly how I mounted these.




Bottom back side

I tried this approach first, mounting to the OEM plastic but tried for a few days to get the light housing apart but no such luck

I'll get my dimensions off the housing later this evening after work. I toyed with this myself for days until you see what I've done. I'll get back to you on this.

Those are the actual holes for the fog light hosing. I got a bracket that's about 3 inches long coming straight down and then it has a 90 degree turn facing forward that's about an inch long.
Did you make or buy the brackets? I know tractor supply has l brackets
