I'm looking into getting some aftermarket fogs for my tC and found these on Amazon:



I'm wondering if they will fit my 08 tC since it says only up to 07? Also how hard will these be to install for someone whose never done something like this before?

Those are the "JDM" style fogs that have been floating around ebay..they work but I heard they are kinda a PITA to install...search around on the forums you will find some info on them. However judging from the description they may be a little better than the ebay ones,,but I can't see the wiring harness well enough to be sure..

I would try and stick with the VRD or APT (ebay vrds) fogs..they cost a little bit more than those but those ones just plug and play and are very straight forward to install...the VRD/APT's also look a lot better IMO

 

okay thank you and i agree the VRD fogs look a lot better and have been searching for them but cant find them anywhere. I don't mind paying the extra money for them but i wish i could find them somewhere (preferably not ebay)

 

i don't see why you don't just do ebay. you know their authentic right? and everyone on here who has vrds have probably have bought them from ebay. It worked out fine for everyone. just a heads up. gl though

 

+1 for ebay purchase!

 

yeah i personally bought the APT fogs aka the VRD knockoffs from ebay. The only difference, so i've heard, is that the legit VRDs are made of a high heat resistant plastic lens. As compared to the APT fogs, they are glass. The glass lens is more prone to shatter if a pebble were to come into impact on high speeds. Whereas the plastic can at least absorb some impact and more likely to just leave a scratch. IDK i might be misinformed though. And those "JDM" style fogs.. looks too.. eh... Does anyone know why the hell they call those JDM or even JDM style? It's pointless to call em that. Maybe theres a reason why Toyota Dealers chose the VRDs.

 

Those fogs are not a PITA to install.
They were pretty simple actually.

 

lol sorry i got off topic. All tc's so far should have the same fitment with their fogs. But generally, they should just snap in after you take the bumper off and pop those black things off. Taking the bumper off is a little bit overkill on the labor but most definitely easier in the long run. Theres hella 10mm bolts along the fender, on top and under the bumper, holding the it into place though, so that should be fun. Good luck tho man!

 

the ones i bought came in a vrd box with 3k hid's (instead of the halogen bulbs) and the lenses are glass. . .
the fitment should fit and as far as the install. . .piece of cake!

 

yes they will work, I even made mine fit with the lip kit you shouldnt have any problems and yea I got mine on ebay too! Ebay RACING!!!!!

 

i personally started of with the oem dealership fogs, then i switched to the vrd fogs, then i switched to the "jdm" style or ebay/amazon fogs, i like em alot better then the vrd, i see too many of them around, so in a sense i wanted to be different. it looks real clean on my FM tc

 

I personally like the VRD/APT fogs but whatever floats your boat. The "JDM style" ones sit flush with the bumper and the apts sit inside

 

yes they will fit and you don't need to take the bumper off.. just take the fender lining out..

(just letting you know how easy it is...)

 

still fits sucky.

 

my fitment is flush with the bumper, i love these fogs, every car around here that i see have the small vrd ones (ones inside) or oem ones, i am glad to know there are only 2 tcs here that have this foglight. one of the tcs being me of course

 

there's a reason for everything.. LMAO

just messin lol
