Theres a little like flat area or shelf just underneath the headlights, and mine just mounted there with double sided tape, and havent had any problems. Here, I took a few pics... sorry the car is dirty.. its undergoing MAJOR renovations at the moment, lol. Should give you an idea, though.

Its called vandalism, actually

Someone decided to smash my window and rip apart my interior, so I havent driven the car in just over a year, figuring its a good time to do some projects I had in mind. Plus that crack in the headlight came from a friendly truck on the freeway carrying a load of rocks... he even decided to throw one my way free of charge... such a giver those guys!

I beg to differ. I wouldn't have ran the wires above that crossbeam and the connectors on top of the battery.

I mounted mine on the bumper bracket by the windshield washer fluid tank. If you look at the picture, they are on the lower left and right corner.

Any of the spots in the above posts should work for foglights too. I have my foglight ballasts on that little shelf that is mentioned above.
