Help Wanted: Fog Lamp / Driving Light Mounting Solution

[CTCe9]

Does anyone have an effective way to mount fog/driving lamps without drilling the bumper and still maintaining lamp stability? Franck and Enzo have some awesome vintage sets for sale, but I'm struggling to drill the brand new rechromed bumper.....

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Best

Chris

I had a set of no-drill clamps but I don't think the person makes them any more. They didn't work very well because the lights bounced up and down when on the road. I ended up buying a back up center section and drilled my original for the lights. No regrets.

Interesting. I just assumed the holes in mine had always been there. They look very “factory”.

There are clamps available on eBay for mounting on the bumper brackets. Easy enough to search used for VWs & Hot Rods.

I would neither drill holes nor use the clamps, you will ruin your brand new rechromed bumper. Instead buy a new one with the holes, get some stabilising brackets and sell the rechromed bumper.

p.s.: I do have one NOS centre part with the holes available

So color me confused on the subject… were they available from the factory that way Or was this a dealer option etc?

My front bumper had predrilled holes to facilitate mounting
