HELP. fog light install

I bought the hella 500 driving light kit from outmotoring.com along with the brackets they advertise.

however im not sure how youre supposed to use all the screws and what not that it comes with to put it on the grille.

If anyone can help it would be nice.
also pictures would be amazing.

see if this helps

factory set install instructions. be advised that assuming OM has sold their clones of the factory brackets then you need to drill into the backside of the hood/bonnet to hang them.....

DISREGARD the ELECTRICAL part of the factory install notes.....you did not get the same stuff - follow the instructions that came with your kit. I'm only showing you the factory install noted so you can see how the factory describes the bracket mounting.....

I've done several set of these for folks, if you have specific questions you can PM

btw - fog lite kit vs driving lite kit = BIG difference..... lites on the grill = easy, lites in the bumper (factory fog) a wee bit more difficlt....
