Fog light brackets;
 
Instead of drilling holes I used these brackets.  Cheap at $8 each.

The picture here shows the clamp from a top-down view.
 
 
I used these clamps and some inexpensive fogs to replace the Projekt Zwo fog lights that I sold a couple months ago on the Samba. Not as classy as the Project Zwo's but: Looks OK. Functions well. Easy. Cheap. No mods needed.
