You might want to poke your head up under/behind the front bumper
cover.  At least on the later turbos (89 200Q in particular) putting a
large
light on the right bumper bolt blocks the oil cooler.  How big is the
Hella XL?

AoA had a fog-light kit for the NA cars, included mounting brackets that
used those bolts.  They're Allen head, and can be a pain to break
loose.  I used a little WD-40 and a breaker bar w/ an Allen driver.
