One disappointment was the +$20 option for the yellow LaminX film. Which I assumed TRS was going to apply before shipping but instead they sent pre-cut film. Which was kind of difficult to line up properly since the lens is a dome shape but I got one on decent. The other kept creasing and eventually didn't want to stick anymore so I left it off. If you want to do that I'd suggest going to eBay since that same $20 there will get you about a couple square feet of film and you'll have multiple attempts or extra and can trim it to suit.
I had to pull the bumper cover off because the front heat exchanger prevented easy access to the fog lights, plus I replaced my air filter and intake tubing as well. Otherwise this wouldn't be required for anyone else.
Anyway first issue was the bracket needed some slight trimming. I used a file to trim the corners on each tab like so.
Top one trimmed.
Kinda difficult to see but now it slides right in and it's fairly centered.
Next, since these are pretty small compared to stock as well as different bracketing, I wanted to make sure this would mount closer to flush with the front bumper cover rather than be recessed a few inches so I found some 1" nylon spacers at Home Depot in the hardware section and paired them up to space the fog light 2" out from the back of the opening in the bumper cover. Also grabbed some 2-1/2" long bolts, washers, nuts etc. So now they're mounted, and that was fairly simple & easy.
As for wiring, the plug that comes with these works with our stock 880 bulb socket, except that the little nub for the latch is on the opposite side so this potentially allows the connection to work itself loose. They fit pretty snug though but for now I wrapped the connection with electrical tape. Alternatively Advance/Autozone carry some typical electrical connectors so you could probably find a socket that would fit but I forgot to look for that all 3 times I went out for other stuff.
Here they are hooked up:
(Really not sure why my phone picked up blue in just the passenger side headlight, but the HID's are 5K white and the LED's match that pretty closely in person.)

Now I'm just left deciding on what to do about a sort of shroud to fill in the gap around the light and the fog light hole. I came across these at Home Depot, they're shrouds for recessed ceiling lighting. They're rated for outdoor use and stainless steel so I figured they'd work pretty well here but I wasn't sure what size to go with. They're only $4 each so I grabbed two of each.
There's this one which will require significant trimming on the inside to fit around the fog light lens but the outside diameter slips near perfectly into the fog light recess in the bumper. The only other issue thing would be how to mount it.
The other one I found is a bit larger. It won't take much trimming at all to allow it to slip over the fog light lens and the top edge would sit flush on the bumper cover. I figured this one I could just put some adhesive strip on the back and stick it to the bumper cover. I'd likely paint this one body color if used.
Comparing both
