Default adding fog lights

We have a 2004 SS. It is a salvage title car and the previous owner did not put the fog lights back in. I have both assemblies coming. How tough is it to mount them inside the bumpers? (wiring is all hanging there ready to go.

Thanks,

Larry

I got some UltraWhite foglights from Advance and went to put them in, and realized there was nothing to secure them to the car...
My dad ended up making a little holster type thing for them...similar to this: http://www.gosale.com/product_images...fog-lights.jpg
then we just had to screw some holes through the top and attach it, shouldn't be too hard if your foglights come like this

They're easy to screw in just one screw on each side and you'll have to line up the teeth (you'll know what I'm talking about once you get back there)

just so you know, it's easiest if you take the headlights out, you can get at it from the bottom, but doing it from the top was easier for me

its really easy to put the fog light brackets on, there's huge gaps in the bumper under the hood for you to do everything by yourself once you remove the headlights. it took me about half an hour to do both sides.
