not to hijack but it is still useful to the person who started this thread. Can someone confirm you can actually use the fog light brackets on the prefacelift for the facelift, or do you still need the facelift brackets?

You know, that's a really good question as I never really questioned this before. But my assumption is that you would need the correct brackets to match the correct bumper and fog lights. I will look into it some more and let you know what I find out, unless someone else can confirm an answer before I can.

I did the full facelift conversion with fogs some years ago.
On a pre-facelift gen 6 which already has foglights they don't align up with the new shape bumper and the brackets can't be made to fit the later shape foglights either.( they are very different)
So.... to answer your question, yes you do need the matching foglight brackets as well as the foglights for the facelift bumper.
The good news is that both brackets use the same mounting bolt holes as the old so no need to drill extra ones and I think the fog connectors are the same shape.
