Cutting fog surrounds

[Bipotey]

My campus has blanked fog lights. Im going to order some lamps but does anyone know if i can just cut the circle out of the blank and put them in? Or do i need to order one that has always had the cutout for a lamp. Ive nicked this picture from ebay. Its off a mk 3 but you get the idea (i hope)

Cheers

If you cut the circle out, how would the fog light attach to the blank? You probably need the correct part I would imagine

Please post pictures of your progress with the lights

After taking the bumper off the mounts were already there behind the blank. So mounted the lights and removed the trim.
To cut the hole out i followed the outside of the circle drilling lots of little holes. I then joined these up with a knife.

After filing and sanding them down to a finished shape the parts that had been cut had a slight discolouration. Autoglym bumper care sorted this out. Then just popped them back in. Haven't got round to wiring them up yet ( doubt i will tbh)

Hope this helps pal
