Ill have to look. I feel now that you say that maybe the pic on amazon were more like yours and the product might be the "next generation" and some smaller changes occurred on the product. Ill keep you guys up to date on my install.

Chris, sounds like you and I got the same ones. I am going to start working on mine this weekend hopefully. Ill post some Pics up as I do it. Yeah the pigtail on mine is longer which is nice, but the heatsink material is smaller, so I might have to use smaller hardware.

Your chrome ones, did they have heat sinks like mine or were they different?

Did yours have a plastic bracket attached to the back? I ordered the black ones off amazon, heres the link
Amazon.com: SUNPIE 4.5 Inch 30W Black LED Fog Lights Projector Auxiliary Daymaker Headlight Motorcycle Passing Fog Light Lamps For Harley Davidson Pack of 2: Automotive
They seem to have plenty of heat sink material, but also have a bracket on them.

Maybe Matt or Smokin will chime in.... Matt got black one's off Amazon but not sure what the rears looked like. Smokin got ones that have the different backs, but not sure if he went with black or chrome.

I got the shorter heat sink fins as well. I used a 3/16 drill bit and drilled hole in outside fin Only, for now. Headed to Lowes to get some hardware. Going to try to use a small bolt on each side instead of one long bolt like OP did.

Let me know what hardware you end up using and working. I was going to head to Lowes too in a little to get some stuff and figure out what works the best. Thanks for beating me to this and being the ginny pig on the shroter heat sink! LOL.

Well my Lowes didn't have a 4.5" bolt in M8 size (nor in standard). So plan A has to work. Lol. Just worry about how well 2 shorts will hold up, not much material left between fin edge and hole. Definitely be more sturdy with one long bolt thru all the fins.

Ok Ninja Turtles, got em done using the small bolts. One problem, no way to secure the aim of the light. With screws tightened as tight as they'll go, light will still move with a shake. So, I rigged em for now (feel free to point and laugh). Ill be going back to get the 1/2" spacers like OP used to see if that helps secure light. Lol.
No the right light is not crooked, just looks that way from angle of camera

so basically i need to go though the next layer of heat sink as well. So did you end up tapping a 3/16th hole in both the light and the bracket? i think like Infinite said, that spacer plus the loctite will work well.
