No room for fogs on new bumper?

Anyone ever put fog lights on top of a JCROffroad stage 4 front bumper on a 97+ XJ?

My bumper just arrived and I haven't installed it yet, but there doesn't appear I will have much room between its front edge and the grill. I've got a pair of Hella 550s ordered, but I'm wondering if I'll have enough surface area to mount them, without the lights protruding out in front of the bumper. (In the event of a collision, I'd want my bumper, not my lights, to make first contact!)

Are there other quality fogs out there--for less than $100 a pair--that are significantly thinner (front to back) than the Hellas?

Thanks.
 
they should fit fine. the hellas mounts are nearly flush with the back of the housing so you will be able to get them close to the grille and not out past the bumper.
