OEM Fog Lamps + Auto_bahn front

So, I did an extensive search on this and called a couple of places but unfortunately, I didn't find the answer. So, my question is, will the OEM fog lamps be able to mount onto the Auto_bahn front bumper? First person to answer will get a cookie.

Yay, now question #2. What fogs are these? Will they be able to connect to the OEM fog connectors?


EDIT:
Jedi, I'll give you a cookie the next time I see you at some meet.

I was asking my friend the exact same thing regarding the fogs. I just started putting my autobahn on the vr, however there is a gap on the sides so its gonna require some work. If i could find out what fogs are those, it would be great.

Same goes for me, I want to use my OEM fogs on the Auto_bahn kit, I don't want to have the fog light switch on my stalk to be useless. Also, the aftermarket fog lights in the picture is hot!

The thing is I don't know who's car that is. It was a picture used for Shine Auto's group buy and apparantly, it's not their car. I PM'd Ngo already... just awaiting reply.

I think you saw it from the Autobacs in Japan thread. The car's RHD and by guessing from the signs in the background, it's located in Japan.

that rx-8 belongs to D'mix from Japan. The first ever au-to bahn owner on our forum.

He has since changed his fogs but he hasn't signed on since middle of last year.

All I know is they are from a company called Nervo. Japan stationed so won't find it online.

Your best bet is to just find a set of aftermarket fogs you like with an H-11 housing and bulb. Aftermarket fogs all come with mounting brackets where you will drill into the bumper from underneath to secure them.

Another suggestion would be to use the Mazdaspeed fog light bracket, that may be easier to custom install and will support the stock fogs.

Also, anyone here have pictures of the bracket?

Edit: They're pretty expensive for just a bracket. I can't find pictures. I might fab them myself if I can see the pics of the MazdaSpeed ones.

Yes, designed for MS but you'll just need to modify it a bit.

I ran a search on kwescott and with bracket and fogs in the search field. I found a couple of threads that talked about the brackets but unfortunately there were no pictures of it.
