Fog lights are different.

Other than that it should go straight on? Someone else can confirm this, i didnt have a bumper on my car to start with so I cant compare.

I think so? But im not sure on that oo because I didnt have them to begin with either :p

The bracket I bought seems to be made for the round fog light only.

IIRC correctly the brackets are different. Someone here will correct me if I'm wrong.

you are all right, fog lights are different, along with brackets. People say you need the bumper foam that mounts to the crash bar but I am using my stock v6 one with no problems.

Shit bolts right on no problems, fog lights for the cobra bolt right on the steel bumper in the same location as the gt fogs. Hell the fog light plugs are even the same. Its like a 15 min swap...

I thought I heard that Dakota's lights are popular on those. Fill out the hole a little better it looked like?

^^Dakota fogs are popular, aswell as GMC Envoy fogs too. The bumper swap is straight forward, only difference is your putting round fog lights in vs oval.

You can reused the GT fog light brackets as long as you modify them.

Or you can just ditch the fog lights. I don't really like the look of the Cobra fogs or the Envoy mod or anything like that. But that's just me.

So if there's no lights, do you have to fill the space with something or is it just vacant? I like the look in your sig.

You can fill them with brake cooling ducts. :)

They're empty. I intended to get fogs when I originally put my bumper on but after seeing it without, I kinda preferred that. The Cobra lights look too small and the Envoy's almost look to big, not a happy medium I could find so ditched them and couldn't be happier with how it looked.

Had to do some digging to see if I could find any... going through all the old pics makes me REALLY want to get this car back on the road.

Not very up close, but probable the most front on shot I have.
