The bumper brackets are frequently available on ebay for the earlier cars (up to'67), you didn't say what year your car is. These act like a piece of all-thread with 2 nuts, 2 washers and 2 cast or stamped steel c-clamps that clamp around the bracket and protrude above the bumper with a bracket to bolt the light assembly onto. The top mounting hole is usually in a shallow depression to allow aiming of the lights. You could make something that works the same as these expensive original ones, and will fit later wider brackets.
