Matt,

The fog-lights-below-the-bumper thing is fraught with peril, in that
they are so much more easily damaged because of the location. There was
a nice after market kit put out by Projekzwo at one time, but it was
discontinued. It was an extension of the lower grille on each side and
had a place in it for the fog light as well as a place to remount the
turnsignal lights.

I am working on a replacement for that foglight kit. A list member has
loaned me a pair of the plastics from the kit to work with, and right
now I am trying to find a suitable lamp and hardware which  mount in the
new plastic grille pieces. I chatted with HellaUSA and didn't really get
any satisfaction there. I wanted the original light that Projekswo had
in their kit, and actually came up with the number for it but HellaUSA
couldn't find it for me. Finally said it simply wasn't available in the
USA. I didn't really care for the other options, so I am still looking.
I really want a lamp that is easily replaceable here in the USA and
Canada. Modifications involving acquisition of parts from foreign
countries becomes problematical. . Homegrown is best.

Anyhow, the work is still in progress. When I get this lamp thing
resolved, the project should move along a bit more quickly.
I will keep the list up to speed on this as it happens.

Regards,
