Ventilation duct from B&Q was just right for mine!

I had similar lights to yours on my build. I just got a flat piece of ally sheet and cut out a shape that was kind of like a rectangle with the two short sides tapering down (imagine a rectangle with a triangle at each side). I then bent them so that I ended up with a hollow wedge that got clamped behind the light. I don't know if that makes any sense at all but it was the easiest way I found to do it and it worked perfectly while adding virtually no weight at all.
Best and all that,
Dave.

Default Fog light

Thanks for all of the replies.

In the end I used a method similar to what Enoch said.

I trimmed the lower edge of the fog light slightly and used some aluminium plate at the top to bridge the gap. I then covered the outside with some plastic trim.

It doesn't look too bad either. I will post some more pictures later on my build thread as long as it's not raining!

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).
Car iva'd and passed 15/08/2014. Finished weight 572kg.
