Mine is stock but I would suggest talking to Mazda Service about mounting ideas or even a diagram that shows the mounting points of the OEM ones. I've never had any issues with the OEM ones shaking. Mazda Parts might have a mounting bracket too that you could mod to fit your fog lights. Plus if you use the foglight to parking lights rewire you could just run them off your existing light switch without needing to add an extra switch. That'd probably be the most reasonable way to add the foglights.

Hope that helps or at least gets you started in a direction.

Good-Win-Racing makes a fog light relocation kit, you could get their unit our use it as a template to see what they mount it too.

a good location is where the switch for DSC is at, there are room for many more switches and i bet you can easily fabricate a switch into there, or just get a DSC button, wipe off the DSC and write fog light and have it installed to a slot adjacent to it.
