Default Fog light housing

anyone know where I can find fog lights that would fit my car? I'm thinking of installing the housing but replacing the bulbs with luminics. I have no idea how to go about doing this but I'm going to learn, as God is my witness

any advice would be appreciated

you mean foglights other than OEM? I would think that you could just install the factory foglight and find a direct replacement for the bulb from luminics or similar? back me up?

I think the lowest price you will find the OEM Foglight kit is here

TRDSparks Foglight Kit

For 209.99 this is a steal for the factory kit.

Do you want a perfect fit? Or are you willing to do some custom work? If so, get Hella Optilux 2500. They are slightly larger and will require you to make a custom bracket, but are very bright (so bright, you can run them as driving lights if you wanted, but not suggested) and also have angel eyes. Here are pictures of them on mine. I got mine for $60.

I would seriously consider that as an option if I were not so inapt with my hands. If I try something like that I'm going to end up slipping and drilling a hole clear through the bumper.

However, It IS about $140 cheaper....
itz you wanna walk me through the installation process? :D

Yea, I can definitely walk you through it. Add me on AIM and I can help you. I'm at work during the day and usually out at night, so I might not be on so often, so PM or email works too.

Here's a couple threads to help you out in the mean time:

If you needed more help, I'll be in SJ area the weekend of the 18th. I'll be dropping off my new car at my uncles and probably crash there for a couple days. Just give me a shout.
