Default So bought wrong duct/fog lights

I think I messed up here. I bought the ducts with the integrated fog lights. They don't seem to fit, I am already an incompetent fool but could someone confirm this for me and then also guide me to where I can order some that will fit. Thanks

They look like 993 ducts.
On the 964 ducts, the screw hole lands between the intake and the light. They are also wider.

Hmm, I saw something like that when I tried them on. Where can I grab a set with the fog light & duct for 964? I've looked at getti(or gretty?), rennspeed, and another one that I cannot recall at the moment, and I can't find any.

So I found this website that claims these lights are for 964 Turbo, 90-94. What do you all think? They look the same as mine. Thanks for your help!

The factory never made any fog lights/ ducts like these.

Your list is not showing up. I tried this search with different criteria and I get no results for the categories that I searched through. I will try to see how these things will fit my bumper tonight.

964 and 993 are different.

I cant speak for this manufacturer specifically as to whether their dimensions fit in the fog light opening - but if they are replica's of the correct size and you have a standard 964 front bumper you have to cut a small slot in the bumper on each side to slip the tabs in and and drill holes to set the screw in. Slip the tabs in the slots and then set the screw and that's it.

Fair enough, I think I will try to get this done. They do fit in the opening, quite well actually, it just feels like they are off a tad but I can make them fit. I already have a SLOT in the bumper since I used to have DUCTS before, and I already have the screw hole, I just want some lights with my ducts.

Thanks for your massive amount of help Flach.
