Hi guys, I just recently bought some fog lights i want to put on my front bumper. How have you attached them besides drilling holes? The guy at Advance Auto told me to get some clamps and clamp them on. Any other suggestions?

i just did mine ...but my bumber had light tabs on it...but i read on hear someone was useing the clamps from the hardware store...called "conduet hangers"...they are differnt sizes for round pipe and then they have a square tab built into it...looks perfect on the pic i seen...i looked at my local truevalue but they only had for like 3/4 pipe....i'm sure home d and loes would have them

Ok thanks, I'll look into it. Also called my local fastenal and he said to look up split ring hangers, they look promising.

I would have to suggest the Axia small light mount. Perfect no drill light mounting solution.

Wow those are nice, but more than what I paid for the lights

Light tabs a cheap, order a pair on line, and take them down to your local welding shop and pay the guy a few bucks cash to weld em on for you. A little spray paint touchup, and your golden!

Anything else, Im afraid won't be to secure, and the lights will bounce or loose alignment easily. A bouncing light is really hard on the eyes when night riding.

hmm wildearp, your suggestioning I just get them welded straight to the bar? Thats a good idea I havent thought of. Thank you!

I vote for Wild Earps suggestion

 

[erniejoe1]

Hell, if you lived closer i would have welded them on for free!

Hella makes some - picked them up at Pep Boys. They were like $7 each.

I'll see if I can find them for ya online.

Oh sorry,I bought some fog light mounts for the front bumper that were made by Hella.

Oh dang, it didn't realize this was you again. Looks like you are in the same stage of modifying that I was about a year ago!

 

[Bosgarage57]

Oh cool! I looked @ pep boys buy couldnt find the mounts online. Yea I just paid it off so Im try to do some small things (cheap) to it. Already got stereo in it (cost me $30 for it ), and recieved my JBS Stuff (havent installed it yet). Now its just the small things.

I went to lowes and bought some 1.5" conduit hangers. Scuffed and painted them black. They have a hole for mounting that was the perfect for the light. Haven't had much of a chance to try them out to make sure they hold tight but so far so good.

 

[UGARhino]

No wonder I could not find them - they are KC Hilites, not Hella. Here is what I have: Mounting Bracket: KC Tube Clamp 1.5"- 2" #7307

Amazon has them listed at around $20 each, but I swear I got them at Pepboys for about $8 each. And yes, Pepboys website SUUUUUUUUCKS!! I bought them at one of their stores.

 

[erniejoe1]

Tabs are only at most 6. for both. A welder may charge 20. to install but they will be there until the bumper falls off....just my 2 cents

 

[mazdaparts]

Conduit hangers cost about $1 each and I had the paint. And they are not permanent. I can move them or add a light if I wish later.
