Default Well, just a review on these ebay fog lights.....

well, ive had these OEM style ebay fog lights (the ones that go in the center, like the OEM ones) and let me just say. THEY ARE VERY CHEAP.

First off, when i first installed them, the bulb cover thing wasnt yellow. NOW they are, like it go to hot and started to dis-color.

BOTH of them started to fog up and have WATER inside of them.

BOTH bulbs went out within the first 3 months.

The right one cracked open.

i hit a possum last week (long story) and it knocked the ENTIRE grille out. yeah, not the fog light assembly, the actual honeycomb part. broke right through EVERYTHING holding it in. thats 10 screws, and 6 clips.

last weekend, since it was oh so windy, it knocked out the WHOLE THING and the plastic split in half like a tooth pick.

DO NOT WASTE THE $100 ON THEM!!!!

(i just bought VRD fogs and an 08 lower grille if you ask. im goin for a diffrent look now.)

well, it was a 2 lane highway. i was in the left lane, and a bmw was in the right lane.
we were both goin about 35-40.
the mother RAN across the street, we both slowed down, all good!
then, its teenage kid RUNS PAST the street, and the BMW swerves, which leaves me to either hit the BMW, or hit the possum.
yeah.... the possum lost. and SPLAT!
it popped ou the right side vent and left a few scratches on the side of the bumper.

I've been in several situations where someones about to him me but, i always somehow find a way to escape it, DAMN i duno why, its my reflexes or somthing, or the thought of my car being totaled

not exactly, if you know a body shop (like I do) you could tell them to write up a higher estimate , say if something cost $1000 to fix, they could write $2000 instead, with the extra money, you could get yourself a body kit, rims, etc or keep it

Well one thing I have learned is that you REALLY DO get what you pay for!
