Well, I checked into the NLA brackets again. They are out of 356A brackets but have 356 B and C brackets! Well my car has bumper brackets more like a C or B anyway. I ordered the brackets and installed them today. They really are a nice item, even though pricey. I will post some pics of the brackets and lights installed soon. The lights look great!
Looking forward to seeing those pics Will!
BEAUTIFUL JOB!!!!!!!!!
What color is that car?

Will,
looks great! Makes me want to get mine installed.
I have a question that will also help some of other members in mounting.
What is the measurement from the center of the fog light shaft to the center of the bumper bracket. Answering that will establish where to install the lights.

Will,
What kind of mesh do you have over the headlights?
Is the glass there too?
It looks like a very neat installation without exposed clips and fasteners.

There is glass behind the mesh. They were on the car when I bought it. I don't know the brand. I believe that a company Sierra Madre Collection sells them. They are nice!

Will, that installation is great. I'm going to have to go that route. I'm anxious to get those lights on my car!
Dennis, I was thinking about the bumper mount, but I could not bring myself to drill the holes. The bumper seems thick enough and probably would be no problem, but I did not want to make a mistake. The mounts are nice, and as soon as I got them and mounted the lights, I felt they were worth the cost. I also got 2 rear light chrome teardrop covers. $5.00 apiece and really look better than the slightly pitted ones that came with my car. My car is 6 years old, but has been garaged and washed/waxed constantly. The tail light chrome bezsels were pitted and would bleed rust if not polished every week. The new ones from NLA look better. Time will tell. I nbet the chrome on these lights will be rusting in no time. I may order a second set at that price to use as the mounted ones deteriorate.
I'm going with the NLA and see about the 356A availability. I'll let you know!
Hey Will: Got the Marchals and awaiting the arrival of the NLA brackets! Will post pics as soon as I get her dressed!! Thanks again.
Hi Will,
If you get a chance can you give me the measurement from the center of the bumper bracket the the center of the driving light mount or shaft? Would love to have that measurement to locate the lights.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave, sorry for the delay but I was out of town. The center of the mounting screw on the lights is 3 1/2 inches inboard from the bumper mounting brackets. I just got back from Monterey. What a car lover's dream!
An update: The NLA 356B brackets worked just fine and I've got the Marchals installed. Picture to follow! Thanks Will for the heads-up!

Marchals...Is it possible for your car to get any COOLER?!! I think not!
