Default BUMPER PROBLEM! someone help

Got the Rugged Ridge front XHD bumper for christmas. when i go to put the bumper on my jeep, the fog itself rubs and prevents the holes on one side from lining up properly. so i have to move the fog light itself up. but im having a rough time doing that. any advice would help guys! thanks

What does the fog light rub against? I can go out and take a look at mine.

Default show a pic if your still having a problem

I can't think of any issues with the fogs, they mounted right up from what I remember.

Yeah, more info... I didn't have any issues so to speak. I do recall the posts that the fogs screw onto are super thin and were slightly bent, I carefully bent them back strait.

I'm trying to remember my install... but could you have put them in upside down?

I had an issue regarding the holes lining up, but I dont think it had anything to do with the fogs...

I just used a drill bit to widen the hole...it was just a tiny bit and only one hole...

No problems here either. On my install the fog lites were not even close to anything that would hinder the install. Do you have a 2010? I have heard they use a different fog light housing not sure if that would make a difference.

On my 07 I had no problems either. Be careful with the little posts the fogs attach to, they break offf easy.

Maybe you could post some pics of your problem,
