No these are the universal ones that comes with the standard bracket. All I did was drilled a hole on the bottom portion of the bumper as the op did. So far has held up fine and sturdy.

I plan to put in a smaller steel bumper that leaves the portion with the fogs intact, so I went ahead and purchased the angled model. Pics attached here for anyone that is trying to decide between the standard and angled ones.

Thanks @Drift Monkey for the inspiration! Super pleased with the final result.

Finally jumped on buying some of these. After seeing the angled front on some of the other installs I was sold. I wasn’t sure how well the single bolt through the bottom would combat any shaking while driving, I wanted something a little more sturdy. So I used the Type F2 mount from DD. I drilled a second hole behind where the original bolt went in. I put a bolt and lock washer in each side. Between the hardware and the front trim piece the lights are not going anywhere. Also with the mount I chose I did not have to paint behind the light.

Somehow I received Pro model lights when I ordered Sport model. The small brown box indicated it was Sport but the sticker on the bottom of the light itself says Pro. If I am mistaken please correct me.

Thanks to @Drift Monkey for the thread and to all the others who have done this mod for sharing their installs.

i just put in my order from lightwerkz , going to try do what you guys have done and jump on the led fog light band wagon.

still not sure if i want to buy some yellow covers too.

my current setup is stock fogs with amber film, also have 3000k hid bulbs, output is deep color, no glare.

i have tried using 3000k with no film, its yellow with some glare.
4300k with amber film was identical to 3000k no film.

Buy the yellows from DD. It's a warmer temp LED behind a 3K lens. Putting a yellow cover or lens over the standard white model 6000k SS3 won't result in a deep enough yellow.

finally did mines, I really trimmed out the f2 brackets, not sure how the stock fog light shroud was going to fit over, but it didn't for me. used some nuts and bolts, trimmer the brackets flushed for the inner mount so it have more to the bumper, the out mount goes to the stock holes, also used some larger washer in that area with nuts and bolts so it should not pop out
update: seems like my holes wernt far enough back, maybe thats why the uncut bracket didnt work.
parts used
1/4 20 thats 1.5 inch long, you can make 1 inch work.
split washers, 1 inch wide washers

more pictures since each post can be max of eight. the bigger washer should stop the mounting tabs from popping out. i know one of my tabs was flimsy so this should work better. so secured. if i take the covers off the light is more yellow, covers on and its more amber.
