physically mounting aftermarket fogs

I have a set of Hella Optilux 1100 fogs that I want to put on the 94LS. The only method I can easily visualize is an aluminum 'bar' from the bumper support bar, down to the 'window' in the bottom of the grille. There HAS to be a better way...:shock:
Has anyone found another way to mount these? There's LOTSA info out there for OEM and replica fog mounting...just bolt in and go (of course). Anyone build/fab a mount for aftermarkets using the stock mounting points in the bumper? How'd you do it?
All advice appreciated!

just start drilling. Personally, I'd get the OEM. At least you'd know where to put them and have the hardware to do it properly. I have an idea that those fogs are going to look funny in your bumper, not to mention they may bounce a bit depending on where you mount them. I've had a set of those fogs and they are not universal, mounting wise. I'd either sell or return those and get OEM or replica.

I agree with getting OEM fogs. But for those you have to drill holes in order to mount them. With that bracket I'd think its pretty self-explanatory..

Where in Montgomery Co are you? I grew up in Silver Spring....many years ago....

The bracket is fine...the problem is finding something to mount it to! The lamp is kinda heavy to mount to the bumper directly, besides the fact that if mounted to the bumper, they will stick way out in front of the bumper!:no:
I'm trying to visualize a 'box' type mount that would surround the fog lamp, and bolt to the factory mounting spots in the bumper....
Oh, and the reason I want these to work? $35 a year ago vs. $200-$300 for OEM or replica. And the Optilux are EXCELLENT fogs from a function standpoint!
