Well I got these bezels (similar too) https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VE-Comm...321709?hash=item4d468ff6ad:g:~LcAAMXQdx5RGJys
And I got these Fog Lights but at the moment I cant visualize where these lager unit fit as I dont know if I need some Brackets to bold them down.

QUESTION!!

Do the sealed Lights itself where can change the globe where needed fit on something that I cannot see behind (possible I'm missing something here) the bumper bar itself and the Bezels in front is just a Show that just clicks on
Something is Missing here as the fitting itself has 4 mounting holes like this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FOG-LIG...816443&hash=item2cb396f89a:g:pyUAAOSwc49Y7Yg1 but at the same time where do they bolt too.
Dont worry about the wiring all I need to know what hold them in place. The Bezels I see just pushes in but what about what behind it.
(PS since I never had the bar off I dont know what there to help me attach them so they are solid)

I will have a look under my car to see if I can see what holds the fog lights in place.

There must be a Bracket that allows you to bolt the Light itself to a panel inside. I think you wont see anything as that section is protested by the under body.
Found this on ebay.
SERIES 1 Statesman, Calais, Berlina, S, SV6, SV8, SSV & SS models

If yours is the series 2 model built from 9/2010 - 5/2013 these will fit but your vehicle but are not a direct bolt in lamp as there is a extra bracket needed please contact one of our sales staff for more information

Peel out the plastic inner front guards to access the fog lamps, turn the wheels to the right to access the LHS lamp and vice versa.
I think series 1 only use 2 of the 4 attach points.
Bulbs should be H11 but MY12 onwards used H10's

Yes I looked at a Youtube Video and that was explained but what I want to know originally if you take the bar Off completely does the fog lights itself have been attached with those 4 bolts to the car itself "eg" Radiator support Panel or what ever OR to the Bar itself with those bezels that you see from the front of the bar.
Yes when I got everything I did not get Any Brackets so 1/ I have some missing Brackets, 2/ Or the car itself when you take the bar off has a section that has 4 holes to screw the fitting in. Trust me I'm Learning everyday about the VE.

half a hour ago I just checked underneath The front of the Ve and I have come to the same conclusion. More option to do this.
