Mazdaspeed Foglight Mounting Options
Since Mazda isn't making fog light brackets for the OEM fog lights anymore for use on the Mazdaspeed bumper, I'm looking for alternate options for mounting them. So what whould be the best way to mount OEM fog lights on a Mazdaspeed bumper without using the Mazdaspeed brackets?

That's exactly what I was thinking of. Seems like a great alternative to the stock fog lights w/ MS bracket. It should be easy enough to wire the LED into the same harness type that is used by the fogs.

Was following this thread, as I want foggies on my front MS bumper too (getting the bumper installed at the moment)
Would you have a photo from the front with the MS bumper on?
Also how are the brackets attached? Looks like its bolted onto the oil coolers, but over in Aus we only have 1 oil cooler, not 2.

For installation, in this picture notice the hole to the right and the two bolts inside, thats how the bracket is attached not attached to the oil coolers.
Here is a pic with the bumper on, don't worry I'm getting it painted.

Thanks for the quick reply
Originally I was trying to get a hold of the series 2 foggies, and try to some way put them on the MS bumper.. but couldnt find a used set.
These brackets with the s1 foggies will have to do for now
Will be placing my order for these soon

Geez it looks like you had a miserable time working on you car doing this. Looks cold and snow is still sitting on your door. Anyways so these brackets mount the fog lights back far enough the mesh sits fine in front of them? And did you have to remove the plastic air ducks that direct the air into the oil coolers?
