It was free, saved it off the wrecked bed of a 97 F-350 when we converted it to a flatbed. It was just left over in the shop and suited the need perfectly

Good idea about just cutting a piece tho, that's what I'm going to do when the lights come in.

^ I know most wouldn't, but one job I had, the customer had grounded their lights to a bolt on the columns. So when he turned the wheel it stretched, shorted, and grounded.

Yeah I know, the whole shop had to see it before I could fix it. Simple mistake, and easy repair.

could you take some pics of how your fog lights are mounted?! I have the same bumper and fogs I just don't know how to mount them. I know how an where they go just don't know what screw/ nuts an bolts to use.

There are three 10mm screws that go in to the top of each fog light mount. I dont have any pics of them but if your looking for the screws themselves Im sure you can find them online or a junkyard.
