I'll let you know how my install goes with the adapter brackets.
Hey Raul, how did those brackets work out? I have the exact same situation. Bought a JL steel bumper and my LED fogs didn't fit. I have the LED's from an Overland with the 4 mounting holes. The bumper looks to have only 2.

Hey Raul, how did those brackets work out? I have the exact same situation. Bought a JL steel bumper and my LED fogs didn't fit. I have the LED's from an Overland with the 4 mounting holes. The bumper looks to have only 2.
So I found out that the steel bumper I purchased on craigslist is a 75th anniversary bumper. Primarily the reason I've been having issues. Someone pointed me to these brackets over on quadratec's website https://www.quadratec.com/p/oracle-...jl-gladiator-jt-factory-steel-bumper-5857-504

I went ahead and ordered them. When I got them I noticed that the bolt holes didn't line up properly with the LED fog lights. I returned the brackets and got a refund. I started checking out RubiTrux's website and came up upon these brackets https://www.rubitrux.com/maximus-3-jw-speaker-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt-fog-light-brackets-pair.html

I ordered them, got them in last week and installed the fog lights to the bracket. Awesome right! wrong! I went to go install them on the jeep and realized the bracket is too big :angry: . I almost gave up and just ordered a pair of LED fog lights from RubiTrux's website --> https://www.rubitrux.com/2017-10a-hard-rock-mopar-led-fog-lights-68304048aa-68304049aa.html

So I ended up cutting up the bracket...

I still need to cut the tabs on the other side of the fog light in order for it to properly fit. I'm hoping I can get this done tomorrow. I'll post an update here.

Seeing all the different mount variations it makes me wonder if you need more than the 2 mounting holes you have with the cut bracket. You might try mounting without further modification to see how it works.

That won't work the tabs on the end will not allow for proper fitment.

**UPDATE**

Finally got my fog lights mounted properly by hacking the bracket from RubiTrux.

Look at the part number on my fog light. If you have the same part number I can tell you first hand that it does not line up properly. It's worth the gamble if you want to take a stab at it. You can always get a refund like I did.

It did not line up. I am going to have to return the brackets.

If anyone wants to trade fog lights let me know. I have the four bolt, looking for the two bolt.
