If you installed a Bumper Cover, then don't you still have your original factory fogs? I have a stillen cover and it mated just fine and I kept mine. Regardless of whether or not you had factory fogs, the mounting holes for a new fog light will still exist under the truck including the harness. I hope you didn't remove your factory fascia under the bumper, because It wasnt necessary to do to install a bumper cover.

are we talking about the same part ?
the valence panel or fascia is the polyurethane part that bolts on underneat the front bumper and has the fog light holes
bumper covers cover bumpers not valence panels and certainly not fog lights
why not just build a more secure bracket for your fog lights? i built simple ones that have lasted years with my street scene valence panel

on the r/t there is no valence and bumper (or two piece) it's all one piece. if you take off the bumper cover it all comes off, including the mounting holes for the fog lights (which are still factory) and mount in two holes that are formed into the bumper cover. i will make something more permanent that was always an option i just was curious if there were any ones out there for purchase.

Kev--I pitched the factory valence and bolted on the chrome valence I think from Strret Scenes. Anyway, like yours it had the holes for the fogs but no brackets. The factory stuff didn't work, so I ordered the fogs listed for the new valence I installed. While the new fogs fit just fine, I still had to modify the so-called bracket which was included with the lights. One thing I like about my new fogs is the lens are real glass and not the scratchable, easily broken plastic of the factory. They've been in over two years and seem secure.

the fogs you got were for a street scene lower valance? maybe i'll give em a call and see if that set up will work with my stillen front bumper cover. either way i can always make something solid for them. thanks for the info.
