Take piece of 1/4" X 2" by 8" steel and weld another 2"X2" square on the side at one end. L shape. Make two. Get under the car and from the center of the bumper, about a foot to either side, on the inside of the bumper, should be two vertically spaced threaded holes, I think around 6mm or maybe 8mm. These are the mounting points for the stock fogs and optional above bumper auxiliary lights.
Mark and drill your brackets (L down, legs to the outside) to fit the holes, debur/chamber all edges, get the brackets plated or anodized, (you can anodize them with a car battery and some aluminum and electrolyte or got to Eastwood.com for a kit) and wallah you have essentially stock brackets. They've worked fine more me...I even got a set of similar above bumper brackets, laid them on top of the fogs, and sliced/spliced/brazed the four together to make two combo brackets to mount CIBIE 175 driving lights above the bumper.
Below the bumper fogs work well with amber 55 or 100W H3 bulbs, but only with the mains off (put the headlight switch on parking or 12oclock, not 2oclock), probably with a salted or snow-covered road, and then at low speed on a dark night. Daytime whiteouts are about impossible (I'm waiting for a thermal vision device like Cadillac's to become aftermarket, night vision scopes won't cut it, you need active infra red.)
Don't forget to put a BF Cibie RED rear HALOGEN foglight below the left rear bumper. One only please lest you be accused of poseur. And only use the $#%$#%% fogs when there is fog out!
