After several weeks of trial and error, waiting on parts, and so on I've finally finished. Parts list:
-Fog lights off a 02-06 GMC Envoy, $40 from ebay
-Stick on tint, $20 from Lamin-x Protective Films - Protect with Style
-About a foot of 1 inch square tubing, had it laying around the house
-Strip of aluminum, 3ft long, 1 inch wide, 1/8 inch thick from Lowe's, $7
-Longer bolts and washers for mounting, $2 from Lowes
I was going to use the stock brackets, but they would not line up with the holes, so made my own. I have a Word file I can e-mail to anyone interested, it's what I used for my design, so I didn't take pics of the process. Only thing I like is taking it apart and painting it. Main reason I went with the Envoys is because I got smoked headlights, and the BOI smoked fogs fell apart before I even got them on (they replaced them, the replacements fell apart as well). I couldn't find any decent smoked lights, so had to do the swap. I figured the clear lenses would be easy to tint and match (think I may go lighter on the tint, not quite a perfect match). The Envoys are also suppose to be brighter and use a lower wattage bulb. Even after the tint, they are brighter. I got a new camera, so the pic after the tint didn't come out, but it is much brighter. So here's the pics
Before
With BOI's before they fell apart
Lighting with the BOI lights (one side was fogged over)

Brackets
Envoy light output before they were tinted (EDIT: fogs and low beams are on in this pic if I remember right, wasn't quite that bright).

Envoys before tint and tubing was added. I didn't like how far they stuck out in the bumper, and was afraid it would scratch the paint (just had the bumper painted a few months back.
Another of the lights before tint
Light output with tint (sorry, only pic that would turn out, it is brighter)
