What are the easiest Hella / PIAA driving lamps to replace existing fogs in a '89SE

I want to upgrade the existing stock fog lamps in my '89SE, but didn't see any prior postings. So I'll ask now....

I'd like to install a set of Hella FF50 or FF75 that have a single-bolt mount. Is this an easy replacement (meaning no drilling)?

Or should I consider something with a two-bolt mount, such as the PIAA 001x or 002x (will it fit into the existing bolt pattern)?

I don't want to spend over $100 on lamps. The Hella's are reasonably priced at $75 a pair. Plus I'm using the existing harness and connections. I'm just going to splice in to the wiring and use the existing switch.

Any help is appreciated.....thanks guys!!!

I've got a set of the PIAA 1400 series lights, they look nice and work nicely too. With drilling, it's not a big deal, if you really dont want to drill use some double sided adheasive, that works great.

Im running PIAA 1500 series. Drilling is not a big deal at all, 5 min tops! Personaly i don't think i would trust my $100+ lighting system to a piece of tape.

I have 1900x foglights to go on mine. I am definitely going to have them drilled and locked.
