fog light bracket install
i'm assuming i need to take off front bumper to install my fog light bracket?
i tired to stuff it in there nicely w/o too much force because trying to aviod damages but it doesn't look like it will fit at all. So i'm thinking i have to remove front bummper.
anyone have a link to those fog light install instrcutions

i dont have a splash shield under my car, i've tried to wedge it in there and failed that way.
how hard is it to remove the bumper? I can take off the headlights/grille with ease. i figure there are a couple of fender liner bolts. and about 10 bolts up top that holds this in.

wtf? you definitely do not need to take off the bumper. they slide in though the holes in the bumper, and you can bolt them up just fine. my install took 10 minutes, and that involved cutting the little plastic piece that gxe/gle's have in the fog light hole.

ok thanks guys. aleast now i know there is a way to get them in. i wasn't able to get them in easily so i thought maybe i shouldn't try. but now i know its do-able i'll give a more effort.

well i cut off that bar. i was doing it thru my pass side. and i was just looking to see how. but i don't remember exactly why i just didn't push it in sideways. maybe there was something behind there blocking me or something. but i'll atttempt today.

easy install
Jeez wit these easy explanations Im wondering if its just that easy for the4m to be taken off ( STOLEN) I got the 95 max.... Am I wrong?
I seen a few empty holes in some 95's where the fog lights were supposed to be.
I was also thinkin that cutting out the fog light openning for the fogs might make it look like ****. I noticed one or 2 ****ty jobs on the road.
But then again its probably only the ones that were poorly done that i noticed.
I'll probably use a razor.
These causes make me consider changing for the 97 bumper / fogs(which are cheaper on ebay too)

thanks,
It fits 10 times easier under the splash sheild then thru the bumper opening.
But those bolts to hold the bracket in are WEAK! I used a 1/4 in tiny rachet to start them 2 broke on me and 1 bend. the other 3 went in nicely. weak bolts. Brackets seem to be secure but i need to get me some stud extractors and get them out.
