The original fog light brackets, for TF's bumper DPC000480 pre 2004, are discontinued, so I decided to manufacture the supports by myself.
For the bracket I used 1 mm thick alu, the 3rd support is a 5 mm bolt fixed with resin to the bumper

I put little discs of silicone rubber between the light brackets and bolts, to absorb vibrations (here in the pic noy yet fitted)
The electrical wiring was based on a sketch dowloaded from a forum, I added some details.

Just wondering why you went for sticking the third bolt rather that use aluminium again?
