Yep one for each fog. The other end I had laying around as a spares form the various other hid conversions I have done. Then just soldered the 2 together.

Lights came in. I haven't got anything mounted yet, but I did a quick mock up. The fogs are close to perfect but will definitely need a custom mount made.
My dually knock offs are going on the rear, I haven't decided but I mocked up what I'm thinking
Oh, and a reference to how they might look in the front bumper

Granted, I was using jumper wires to my battery, maybe that's my problem?

I ordered them as well just havent had to time to look at it for mounting yet

I have a few ideas, right now mine are zip tied in place so I could get the aim right. but my plan is to bond 1/4in PVC pipe in about 1 inch lengths to the side and run long bolts into the bumper. that should give plenty of rotational adjustment and strength for the mount.
They are BMW X5 lights so yes they are very European. lol

no need for it, I could use aluminum tube but plastic is going to be just as strong for this application, they just need to be long neough to have a good solid bond.

when you mount the rears make sure you have the beam pattern right, one orientation will look like this l l the other like this ___ ___

If someone takes a pic of the inside of the bumper with the original mounts and the x5 fogs help up in there ill draw something up and make it at work

Or just make a couple extra sets of brackets. lol.
This. It'd position them slightly behind and up from the bumper. Whatever spread they are, that's the way you want to have them positioned. Welding on a bracket to your hitch may be best. If you were bodylifted, bolting on a chunk of flat bar to the stock bumper mounts works great......it's what I use. But you ain't bodylifted. lol.
