There are only one kind of kartboy foglight brackets,.

kartboy only makes one fog light bracket. choose that one.

as far as real life help...mount the bracket behind the plastic bumper skin. this way, the fog lights won't be sticking out of the opening an extra 1/8th of an inch.

^correct mount the kartboy bracket behind the bumper that way not only will it be 1/8 sucked back but it will hold the swivel bracket on the bumper a little more securely. i installed 500s on my last impreza and they were kind of bouncy on rough terrain. i took the bumper off and took a piece of flat metal drilled a hole in it and installed it on the rear of the bumper then reinstalled the lights and no more bouncy lights.

you don't need the stock mounting braket for the RS fogs when you use the kartboy one right? kartboy goes straight to the bumper?
