Long story short, changing the old style cover with fog lights to the new style. The guy I purchased it from called and asked for a bracket and he swore the brackets are the same old to new style, it appears they are close but different and things are not lining up just right. Anyone here have and extra bracket to sale.
To the mods, I know this in the wrong section but need maximum exposure for our type.

I have have called and checked all the dismantlers, online parts houses, and eBay as well as craigslist locals I can. The brackets either go with the bumper or it seems the right side is the most popular to be needed.
MarkyUK, sorry to have waisted your time that it took to read, I kind of figured all would reason I’m looking for XK150, however I am remiss in assuming all model years would fit when 12 -15 probably would not and they are position specific.
As always I am just going to break out the tools and engineer it, until I somehow find the correct part down the road.
I used the old bumper brackets, there was only a bottom bolt I couldn't use.
I drilled the pop rivits and mounted it to the new bumper with bolts. When drilling out the rivit's I made the hole bigger on the bracket as I slipped so I bolted them to the bumper instead. To be able to use bolts I drilled a large hole on the side to get the nut and washer on.
I couldn't find new inner liners for a reasonable price but with the old brackets the inner liner lines up perfect to the old on the car. As the new bumper is wider I bought a second hand inner liner from a scrapyard to extend the smal gap to the fender. With wheels on you can't see it.:-)

It wasn't just the reading, it was seaching for the part numbers and also finding them on (uk) ebay...although I didn't post the links.
I was going to string the words 'leaving us whistling dixie' into my response but it would only be to prove I'm multilingual in addition to being topical with your handle

I'm trying to find a bumper bracket for my 2010 XK,
Could you confirm that the 2007 bracket is the same for 2010?
