Hella foglight help

I bought these
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

and they don't seem to fit right. I read about everyone getting the 500, but these seems too big to fit the factory holes. Am I missing something here?

The Hella 500's are 6" round driving lamps...

Since these optilux you purchased aren't stock, you will probably need to open that gap up alittle before mounting.

are the 500 and optilux about the same size? do you have to cut into the bumper on the 500 too?

No they are not even close in size... Look at my avatar... the big round circles you see on the bumper are Hella 500's. The 500's are six inches.
