RuifcNunes Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hi there, Recently got a nice pair of oem Bosch Big Fog Lights for my aerodeck. However, can't seem to understand how they attach to the bumper. Has anyone got some photos of how they are assembled to the car for me to check what am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SirPaperbag Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 It seems you might be missing some kind of plastic cowling / housing that would go around the fogs inside of the bumper hole. And I can only speak for pre-facelift models here, but the OEM fogs would be attached from the backside of the bumper where there are a bunch of sturdy mounting points for the screws to bite into. That's the part I'm talking about, btw - that plastic trim around the projector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have the plastic cowling of the version without fog lights, however In believe that the cowling doesn't affect the assembly. My problem is that the metal brackets of the fog lights don't match the holes in the bumper. I must be missing something else.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dr_broon Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I've been looking around for some photos of the brackets for the standard fog lights, but had no luck. This diagram is for the parts (again for the standard ones, not the big fogs), but should give a bit of an idea. Part 10 is the bracket.. From memory the 2 tabs at the sides are where the bracket screws to the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However the brackets that came with the fog lights doesn't fit the bumper. Maybe I need that bracket to connect to the bumper and the ones I've got now will then connect to that?

0 dr_broon Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:59 AM Remembered that @Mickg fitted some big fogs.. There's some pics on his thread here (and on the next pages) - including one of the bracket in place. Might help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that I needed to slightly cut the bumper. This forum is so awesome! 😁😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there,
Recently got a nice pair of oem Bosch Big Fog Lights for my aerodeck. However, can't seem to understand how they attach to the bumper. Has anyone got some photos of how they are assembled to the car for me to check what am I missing?
