So I redid the mounts for my fog lights. I removed the plexiglass mounts I made and I was going to make an angled piece that attached to the factory mount and allowed the fog lights to be mounted right side up instead of 90 degrees on its side. If I did that, then I still had the problem of the fog light mounts being so far forward so I could mount it like Doooode did. Though the factory mount seems to flimsy once it has some weight on it.

I decided to do something like RPAspey did in his install.

He used a piece of steel and bent it into a curved piece to become a mount for his fog lights. I decided to try out a piece of aluminum to do the same thing. It came out pretty nice but it might shake a little on big bumps. I'm happy with it for now. I only took a couple of pics since you can follow his instructions and do the same thing. But here are the ones I have. The first one is the drawing of my bracket over his drawing so you can see the difference between their sizes.



And here is my bracket mid-build:


And here it is installed. Kinda hard to see it in the back and kinda hard to screw it all together in such a small area.


I will say that the way Doooode mounted his was the way I was thinking of doing it and should work. I just don't like how easily the factory mounts bent. Here was his install to refresh people's memories:
