yea i bought oem style foglights, oem brackets and everything for my 95 gt, all the wiring was there i just have to put in a relay and a switch but the bumper holes where the bracket mounts are not threaded so theres no way to put a bolt does anybody have any ideas.

Do you have a tap and die set to tap the holes yourself? Or can you put the bolts straight through and use a nut to hold it on?

i dont have a tap and die set, but i cant use a nut and bolt because the bolts go inside the metal bumper and it is cosed on all sides so i cant get my hand in there to put a nut on, but i may have to go buy a tap and die set, but the metal bumper part is very thin probally only 1/8 of an inch would a tap and die set still be usefull?

You can try tapping it, but it sounds like there is not much material there, so it might not last long before it strips out. How do they mount them from the factory?
