are OEM fog lights available for cars without the "R" bumper?
the reason i ask is because i saw this at vlvworld.com:
http://www.vlvworld.com/850/Section_5_1.htm
take a look at the pic of the red 850 about 1/3 of the way down the page. it says Fog Kit, and is numbered "5".

Yup, and they are the same fog lights as the ones in the R bumper. They were included in the standard bumper if your car has the sport package.

i thought the fog lights on "R"s were in the tiny round holes on the far left and right sides of the bumper? my car doesn't have those holes.
by the way, i'm going to find you and steal your wheels.

What I'm wondering is if it's possible to dremel out a hole in an 850 bumper w/o fogs.

I'd imagine so... here is my moms T5 without the fogs...
And my dads with the fogs...
Looks like it'd be a simple job!!

I have a new bumper valence for my car with the holes precut. One thing I noticed is that the holes aren't cut downwards in keeping with the curvature of the bumper ... they are cut straight forward so that the inside lip of the holes actually have an angled bevel, if that makes sense.

ah, i'll have to check this out! i like how the R bumper looks on some cars, but i don't think it would look good on mine. i'd like to keep it a little more stock looking, but the foglights would be nice.

i'll check it out. hella lights would probably cost about the same as the oem ones anyway.
