Didn't all the '75s have provision to mount the lights ? You's have to remove the bumper to see.

Loosen the bumper shocks when you pull the bumper. It will make alignment of the main bolts easier when you replace the bumper.Main bumper nuts are 19MM

Mine didn't come with the bracket, only the space in the bumper for the fog to fit through (after cutting the rubber).

Mine did not come with fogs but the brackets were there,


Maybe it had them at one time? Perhaps the factory did runs of bumpers with and without brackets. Even though the option wasn't purchased by the buyer, some cars ended up with brackets. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

In any case, fab'ing a couple brackets is quite easy.
