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.

Thank you so much for this write up and your advice! I asked my shop to replicate and it turned out absolutely amazing! Check out the video they made:

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.

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.
