Default ISF replica Front End

This may be a dumb question, but I've been searching and can't find the answer.

I have a replica IS-F front bumper that fits 06-08 ISx50. I bought the fog lights and fog light covers. How do you mount the fog lights onto the bumper when there is only one screw hole? Attached is a picture with an arrow to the one screw hole. Is there suppose to be a fog light mount?

Any chance you can share where you got that front end. Would love to get my hands on one.

Actually got it from someone on the IS group on facebook. I also got the answer there too. Apparently held on my one screw. Who would have thought.

If its the same as the ISF, the 2 midline tabs on the fog light wedge into a slot on the bumper and the one screw holds everything in place.

I have an IS-F style front bumper as well. There are tabs on the fog lights that slide into place and you use a screw to secure them. I used those fan-cooled LED bulbs for the fogs. They use 9006 bulbs like an actual IS-F instead of the H3 (?) like all other ISx50s. Gotta say they're very, very bright so aim them well if you go that route. Unfortunately, my bumper fits like absolute garbage and is of poor quality. Slid about 3 feet into some grass last winter and it actually ended up cracking the bumper. Not sure how that happened as there was no impact. Anyone else with an IS-F front conversion experience any fitment or quality issues?

Thanks! Yeah there's a wedge and one screw. Worked like a charm.
