I am really not sure. If I remember right, he had to drill it, just to mount on the factory bracket. :mrgreen:

Installing these is a breeze - mounting them on the existing fog light brackets is the tough part. Took me awhile. Had to cut quite a bit of the stock plastic housing in order to get a proper fitment. They look great now though. I even had a set go bad (angel eye stopped working/went dim) and replaced them in 5 minutes using what I had already done.

My issue is my switch has been on my driver side floor for over a year now. I'd like to put it where the stock switch is but I'm not sure how to go about that to make it look flush with the switch the Hella's came with. Anyone?

Hmmm. Sounds like you might have to Fabricate some thing. Make a touch screen Fog light switch. LOL

why don't u just cut a small hole in the panel that holds the fog light switch and the mirror controls? there's enough room there to fit most small switches in between the two existing switches.

How exactly do I make this work though? Drill a small hole in it? How does the switch fit flush, or how do I get it to? Anything else I need? Thanks..

it really depends on the style of switch. some you just drill a hole, some you cut a rectangular hole. most switches i've bought (not in bulk) come with like some sort of cutting diagram or at leas instructions on how to install them
