Mazdaspeed Aftermarket Fog Light Installation

[Metallic36]

Okay, so I bought some that are round and barely fit into the fog light holes, they came with a bracket but do I have to cut any part of the bumper where they go in order to mount them? I don't see anywhere that the bracket would mount to, it's a half-square bracket, each side screws into the fog light back. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is a link to the ones I bought.. it shows them installed on a Mazda, it's just a matter of me doing it.

I'm in the process of intalling the exact same pair of fog lights... I have also heard that with the fog lights you won't get them to fit with the front lip on, but whether thats true or not i'm determined to have both... So on mine when you take off the "ducts" where the fog lights will go theres that little lip that the "ducts" attactch to thats what i cut out... And all i have to tell you is good luck with running the wires its a b****...unless ur juss gonna drill a hole through the fire wall. I'll let you know how the installation goes and tell you how i mount mine.. thats the one thing I have left besides grounding...
Later,

I have nothing to add right now, but in another week or so I'll be getting some stock fogs and trying to figure this out as well. I've also heard that the stock fogs are too big to fit with the 03.5 lip, I'll deal with that when I get to that point.

I thought I'd heard somewhere that the MSPs are partially wired up for fogs from the start. I think you just need the lights, then the wiring harness off the back of the lights can be run to an existing plug that is already wired through the firewall, to the spot where you need to put the relay (stock relay location for any Pro with fogs). Then all you need is the to pop out the dummy panel and pop in a stock fog switch, the connectors should be there hooked to the back of the dummy panel. I'm not sure about aftermarket wiring, but I'm sure with a little work you could get it to work with the existing factory wiring. When I get mine done I'll come back and share my experience/horror stories with the install.

Well, I mounted mine.. had to take off the front lip to get it done. Not that bad, and didn't take long. Just have to take off the front lip and mount the bracket up over the top screw and get the lights in the right place.

Edited to say I have photos in the thread WTB: G3 Foglight Brackets
I didn't have to cut anything on my bumper, I'm very glad of that.
