yeah they have 4 screws ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUMPER

That's too bad about the fogs, I'm sorry to hear someone has stolen your lower lights. But on the plus side your front end looks pristine!

I don't think he'll go for the security screws but if anyone knows where I can get some replacements and the wiring if need be at a good price we'd appreciate it - no retro or anything the car is completely stock (as he likes it).
Then tell your boss to buy a bulk of fog lights when he buys, because it will happen again. Buying security screws is just using common sense.

I told him about the hex screws and I think he's going to go with that.

Is there a diff between the 300/430 fogs besides the bulb? The dealership wants a ridic amount for them!

Anyone know if you can buy an insert? I'm thinking like a black plastic insert instead of new fogs. Kind of like when you buy a car that comes with them as an option but not stock so they have just a plastic insert where the fog would be.

sorry to hear this...its becoming more and more of a problem....damn thieves!!

for the future, you should get some security screws instead of the regular ones...makes it harder to steal again.

No difference...dealership is just price gouging. Buy from a fellow CL member or ebay. Since someone actually stole the fog lights, I'd recommend security screws. I have security screws on mine, and I've never had an attempt for theft of fogs. Then again, I live in an area where this stuff doesn't happen

I don't think that's available, but even if it is, don't buy it. You'll basically lose your fog light function for no reason, plus it will look really ghetto. I'm sure you can find a good deal here on the forums, good luck

I have a clear set I'd sell as well. It looks like quite a few others have posted the same, so you should have good luck picking up a used pair on the forum..
