need big help! (JDM Fog lights)

so basically, i just ordered 5" JDM yellow fog lights for my 2003 G coupe. switching things around a bit and testing it out! the fog lights come with a switch and all the wiring and everything. got it for about 40 bucks all together off ebay..may not have been the best idea but we'll find out. they do have "factory" fogs but they dont look as appealing..or big..but the ones i got are pretty bright. but i need help on how to get them on! anyone have any general ideas? i was thinking cutting part of the front little vents (lol) on the bottom of my front stock bumper and slipping the fog light inside it! but if anyone knows of a more better and safer way. let me know!!! i'm just brainstorming different ways because there aren't many G's with jdm fogs!

I'm I the only one that's scared this is going to end up horribly?

No offense OP, but this is a G, not a Subaru. I can think of no way possible to put 5" fogs on the car and make it look right.

^this is why I need to see pics. I can't quit wrap my brain around it. It's either going to be very cool or horribly wrong. Can't blame the guy for trying to make something unique. Isn't that what we do when we mod our cars?

That all being said get a Dremel out and cut the two lower vents where the JDM lights would go do a custom mount and it would look sick. Someone please photoshop something for this guy I think it would be a wonderful idea.

hey man sweet pic! my cars basically exact same with the black color coated factory rims! but yeah mine are about to be yellow without the plastic covering i believe. like i said i got it for about 40 bucks online so me and my buddies are gonna try them out! (before cutting the vents under the front lip!) to see if it looks good or not. everything's trial and error! but i'll definitely show a pic of the car once its done!
