Hi all - im fitting my front fogs - seems straightforward enough, but I cant seem to find the locating pins inside the front valance at the top. The bottom two are there (albeit are only about 5mm in depth). Are these the right size, or has something snapped off?

Basically, it seems that the valance 'pins' arent there or arent long enough, or have had the ends snapped off?

Any help appreciated

Cheers

Basically you need to remove all plastic bits around the holes after you remove the blanks, just leaving four small square holes in the metal around the lights.
New and different plastic plugs fit into the holes, and the foglight frames screw onto these.
