I think the aluminum bumper changed to a single sided reinforcement strip from a 3-sided squarish bumper... if that makes sense. So now the only metal available is on the back of the vertical face of the plastic bumper.

That's nice but it's exactly NOT what Will's got.

I've got a 90 740GL that had factory lights. Or more specifically, homemade half-assed installation of the proper factory lights.

The aluminum bumper beam is in there, all wrapped in bumper plastic and inaccessible. Best bet I think is just to drill some holes with self tapping screws (at work we call 'em Tek screws).

I'm assuming that Will, you have some kind of generic Hella or other bracket-mount fog light, i.e. a typical rectangular glass face and a U-shaped mounting bracket that bolts up with one or two screws? The factory light for the late cars is a form-fitting plastic pod with an asymmetrical glass face. These exactly match the contours of the outer corners under the front bumper and look cool! But they do seem hard to find.

Good luck with it!
