Picture of the backside of the aero kit front bumper

I'm having difficulty finding an image of the backside of the aero kit front bumper. I'm trying to figure out of I can use the existing mounting points of the fog lights to mount some Hella Supertone horns. Does anyone have a photo?

It only takes 6 bolts and there are more than a few mounting options go for.

The fog lights don't attach to the bumper cover. There are no mounting points there. They attach to a panel on the body, behind the bumper.

Look at the diagrams in the fog light installation instructions:

Awesome, thanks for the amazing diagram. Just by looking at it, I think I should be able to mount horn to one of the 3 mounting points. Going to try to attempt it Memorial Monday. I'll post up photos if I can get it done.
