Need the diameter and depth of lse or 06 front bumper fog housing

[SeaPro]

I've always wanted an 06 or lse front bumper. I'm in Atlantic Canada and to my knowledge, there are none in existence. Ebay rarely has them and shipping would be insane. I'm going to undertake making a conversion from my 05 non lse bumper. I have ordered the round fog lights and plan to cut and fiber glass an older style bumper but want to know if anyone can measure the diameter of the round fog light holes. It should be a pretty straight forward mod and I have a spare front I can play with. Can someone here provide me an accurate diameter and perhaps depth? I'd need the depth from the face of the bumper to the fog light glass.

Thanks, I'll post back with progress.

First, a warning. The fog light lenses keep getting broken (by rocks, I assume) on my 06. The rectangular ones on my 04 never have been.

Looking at my 06, it seems way more complicated than just two measurements. The inside hole for the lights is round and seems to be about 2.9ish inches in diameter. I'd have to remove the light or the bumper to actually get in there and get an accurate measurement. The outer part of the hole is on the curve of the bumper, so it is not round at all. Also, it is not a simple depth measurement, as it changes as you come around the curve of the bumper. Hopefully, someone else can help you better than I have.

Note that my 06 bumper looks a bit different (specifically in the fog light area) than the one pictured above.

I realize it must sound stupid but I've literally never seen an 06 or LSE LS lol. I understand what you're saying, and I'll just try and wing it. My C63 has nearly identical fogs and they break immediately. Literally, changed them twice now and within a week they were toast again. Speed may have been an issue in that car though

Thanks as always for the input!

I ordered some "stock" housing for my 06 bumper, still need to find a way to mount it to the bracketless bumper.
