That's why I replaced the stamped connectey thingy behind the grille with a nice piece of angled aluminum .......

I just did this on my, currently my brothers 90 CV. I used a clamp on bracket, as I dont like drilling through things on the grille. this is the bracket that I used. http://www.pmlights.com/products.cfm...Id=14&pId=1754. just remember that lights get warm/hot and plastic does not do well with heat. I prefer a fog lens, but its your call. your grille will throw shadows , but its not that big of a deal. depending on what type you get, look at the drain holes if its not a sealed beam, they will collect water otherwise, and mount them correctly. I had a set of 100 watt spots behind the grille and they always collected water because they were mounted sideways. I have some pics of my lights on my 90 CV if you would like a reference.

Any fog light will work, it just depends how you mount them. My 85 had a handy bar to mount the fog lights to behind the grille, the 91 doesn't.

Check your local laws too - you might be required to run a fog lamp that is DOT or SAE approved for state inspection.

go to junkyard and get the bar that mounts behind the grille to mount the lights to... with the bar, you can have a place to mount the lights. the bar gets mounted on lower area behind grille and good place to mount lights.

This is a wierd kawinkydink that this thread was created on Sunday because I saw a box MGM with grill mounted fog lights on the way home from Pep Boys. I thought they looked pretty good and they weren't that bright. The guy hadthem aimed so that the light hugged the ground. I'm thinking that I might eventually do this myself.

those look exactly like the $20 ones you can get from wallymart. whatever you get just make sure it drains properly. it is advisable to get dot/sae approved lights. it will be molded into the glass, most states require it, and if it doesnt have it, some states make you put covers on them. that clamp on mount works really well too, you can put it anywhere you want, just use a little locktight on it. its easy to move the lights for aiming. I will try and get some pics later today or this week.

Piece of angle aluminum is stronger and you can get it at Lowe's.
