Need help finding a new pair of JDM fog lights for my xB. I would go with the factory stock, but I've read too many people saying they're crap. :?

Any have any links?

Thanks.

 

Contact Steve at Carson Toyota, I got mine from him. They are much better then the USDM ones.

His website is www.newscionparts.com Great prices and great customer service.

 

What's the difference in the bB fog lights? They look the same to me.

Because they're from Japan, they add like 20 horses at the wheels.

The USDM foglights are smoked, which significantly reduces the light output. The JDM fogs have the same shape, with a clear lens, and with a good 9006 bulb in there, those fogs are BRIGHT! I wanna get a set too!

 

teh JDM fog lights are diamond plated on the inside like our headlights and the regular fogs are not. So the JDM fogs are brighter.

 

Hmmm...I am actually pretty happy with the output of the USDM foglights. They don't seem smoked to me. The fact that they rub against the Intake is another issue.

 

i wanna buy a USED set of stock ones..
so if anyone that plans on getting JDM ones, can sell me theres for like
75-100 bucks. that way the price on new ones is cheap!

please sell me a stock set of foglights! thank u

 

yeah whoever selles em sould advertise em on this site... I would get em

 

They didn't finish the insides. It's not so much the light output as it is the dull look to the housings, IMO...

See the difference between the headlight and the foglight in this pic:

 

how much does carson toyota generally sell these jdm foglights for?

 

Says $235.00 on the page, I was some too but that is still too much but still cheaper than the dealer price... cheapested I have seen the US ones is $208

I got some JDM fog's from Carson, if I recall the price was more like $220. Ordered then from "Collin" I believe his name was.

For those who are into badge engineering, Carson's prices on JDM badges were/are less than those on eBay or elsewhere on the 'net

 

window tint,

Since you bought the JDM fogs from Carson toyota, How are they different from the U.S. version?

 

If you read like 2-3 posts above, the difference is that the plating on the inner housing of the JDM fogs are diamond finished, so they appear lighter in the day time while off, and emit more reflective light while on at night.

The usdm ones are more of a smoked look, and thus not as bright as night.

I thought we had a problem with people not doing searches--don't tell me it's gotten as bad as people not even bothering to read answers to their questions in the same topic that they reply in!!!!!!!!

 

he's a newb, you really can't blame him for being a moron. in time he'll be smart as other uhm.. posters.. ;_;

 

hey, I'm headed to tokyo for a few days this summer, does anyone know where I can get the JDM Fog lights and other parts for the xB there?

 

JDM junk yards that carry a lot of used foglights..

bring me back a set please!

 

I checked the bB website, and to get them in japan from a dealer is $210, so the $220-235 isn't a bad deal.

 

can u just swap the housing unit or have to re-install the wiring, harness and switch?
