Fog positioned, bored with pic's Options

[macavely]

i was bored can't really drive my car right now.. so i worked on the bumper and installed some lights...

ok tip no 1 never permantely attatch anything to your car (especially on the exterior, wires and such are different) with ZIP Ties. most fog/driving lights come with screws for that,

look ok though

also did this to the broken edge.. dont done yet.. have to put some washers where
bolts go... where they connet the bumper to the finder.. I have done this on another car i owned .. looks ugly but works... there you go coomer..

every car i have every owned the i used zip ties to hold down the fogs... never had a problem with it..

the bolts will good.. lucks ugly but don't it before on another car i owned..

Can I get a translation on that?

If you don't bolt the lights into something solid, I bet that they'll wobble at high speeds or over bumps and stuff, because the front bumper is so flexible. If you are going to use zip-ties, I at least recommend zip-tieing the fogs to something solid.

My fog light brackets are bolted to my crash reinforcement bar with two 1/4" bolts per side, which seems to work well.

exactly, plus zip ties seem so redneckish, and just don't look as good. work ok as a quick fix, but o permenately.

Well, if they work, more power to you, but I'd worry about shaking fog lights, or a zip-tie breaking and causing a fog light to fall off or something.
