ok tip no 1 never permantely attatch anything to your car (especially on the exterior, wires and such are different) with ZIP Ties. most fog/driving lights come with screws for that,
look ok though

Can I get a translation on that? >
>If you don't bolt the lights into something solid, I bet that they'll wobble at high speeds or over bumps and stuff, because the front bumper is so flexible. If you are going to use zip-ties, I at least recommend zip-tieing the fogs to something solid.
My fog light brackets are bolted to my crash reinforcement bar with two 1/4" bolts per side, which seems to work well.

exactly, plus zip ties seem so redneckish, and just don't look as good. work ok as a quick fix, but o permenately.

Well, if they work, more power to you, but I'd worry about shaking fog lights, or a zip-tie breaking and causing a fog light to fall off or something.
