Use the top screws for the headlights to mount a metal brack acrossed your radiator then mount the lights there, that's the easiest way, And it keeps the lights fairly level with the headlights

The bumper has a little lip so i drilled some holes on the upper part and bolted up the fog lights, They were on there for a few years and i finally took them off, but here are more pics.

Mine are mounted on a piece of angle iron thats attached to the inner headlight bolts. I had to get longer bolts to fit them thru the angle iron.



(ignore the messy wiring- the pic is from the day I put them in and I took it all apart and loomed the wires and painted the bar not long after)



The lights are Hella 555FF's. Pretty bright.

I did mine like PJB, Check out the pics in my garage, I have some close ups of the mounts, and relay location. There are some in my build thread in my Sig as well.

my relay is up against the firewall behind the battery. I ran the wires under the cowl cover and poked holes in the rubber plug on the driver's side of the firewall and mounted the switch between the parking sensor off switch and lighter on the dash.
