nope.  the reflectors cover the bumper mounts.  there's heavy metal
behind there.

the "factory" location is lower, firing through cut out sections in the
lower grill thing.  They were little rectangles wiht foxes (?) in the
middle, and mounted to two metal plates attached to the car.

there was, but they are NLA, sadly.  use a spare defroster switch
mounted upside down on the left, it even looks "about right" since the
wiggly lines point down, like fog lights...

it's there, somewhere, somehow.  Now it's there again...
