Default Bumber billet inserts

I traded my friend a mirror for these billet inserts and i dont understand how to install them. I know I saw a couple trucks floatin around on here with upper and lower billet inserts so i figured I could find some help. I have fog lights so the inserts arent gonna make me remove them are they? Any input is appreciated.

Dont know how they install but I seen in LMC there were ones that said they wont fit with fogs. If so, you could always fab a bracket to mount the fogs further back to clear.

I'd say i could figure somethin out. My fogs are so oxidised they cracked anyway i need new ones. I was checking out the situation today and noticed I wont be able to take that trim for the fogs off without takin the dang bumber off lol I dunno though

You only have to pop the black plastic trim off the top. Open the hood and look under the black trim. Squeeze the clips and pull the trim up. The bolts for the fogs are under it.

All mine used was a plastic head bolt with a "claw" that the bolt threaded into. You put the bolt through the insert and grille and the "claw" locked into the honey comb grille from behind.
