Default cheapest place to but oem fogs?

OK, so i go to my car this morning to go to work and notice that my driver side foglight cover is missing.
probably some dumba$$ kids.


so now either i get a replacement cover or an excuse to get oem fogs to fill the gaping hole.

where can i buy oem fogs for 2004 xb at the chaepest price?
cause dealer wants $270.00 and i dont think they are worth it.

Go with these: http://www.newscionparts.com/product/?id=478
You won't be sorry! Much nicer than the US OEM. And you now have a good excuse to buy them!

I originally bought a set of OEM fogs but after finding those JDM ones I returned my OEM set back (as I didn't install them yet) and picked a set of the JDMs.

Easiest way is to buy just the OEM foglight switch from the dealer and use it instead of the one that comes with the JDM fogs. That makes the entire install plug-n-play.

The JDM switch physically fits into the dash but its electrical connector is not compatible with the one in the car's wiring harness.

If you want to use the JDM switch then you have to cut off the connector in your car's harness and solder the wires directly to the JDM switch. That is a pain as you can't disconnect the switch if you ever needed to. Or go to a junkyard and find any junked Toyota that is 10 years old or less. You can then find connectors in it which will fit both your car's harness and the JDM switch. Cut them out of the junk leaving couple of inches of the wires still on them. Then make yourself an adapter from both connectors. That way you'll be able to plug one end of your adapter into the JDM switch and the other side of the adapter into the connector in your car's harness. You're done!

Now, the JDM swithc also had a light inside it. But if you want to make that work, things get more complicated. You would need to run extra wires to accomplish this.

Search the forums for "jdm fog switch" and yo shoudl find more info.

Don't think those are OEM lights. Some people on clubxb are having problems with them. Fit/Finish/Fogging/etc.

They aren't. They're OEM knockoffs... Apparently, you need to get the OEM mounts from a dealership to get them to fit right. (Only a few bucks from what I've heard)
