Aux Driving Lamps brackets

Looking to install auxiliary driving and fog lamps. Likely just above the bumper line. So I'm looking for suitable brackets. Anyone have any recommendations what to get?

These are the lamps Im looking at

Get the brackets, take off the oem connection at the end, trim the factory grille (as the factory grille w/lights are nla),

Thank you ECS! I used to buy a lot from you guys when I had BMWs

Any chance you have the installation on these? Do they look sturdy enough to handle a 5-lb lamp?

Yep that hold the heavy factory ones. I dont have the install to do the mod. Might need to make a bracket tab to push them out a bit more as the back dome on those are pretty big, but it might work. But do have install https://www.motoringfile.com/2007/06...ight-retrofit/
