Item location: Taipei Taiwan.... no thanks.

They might work OK for now. But I won't ever buy generic imported knockoff stuff. This is the kind of stuff that gets labeled as JDM on eBay and I regard as junk.

Well I believe atleast 30+ scionlife members have actually ordered from apt and have yet to have a problem including me. And some have compared it to the exact one that VRD sells and say that they are exactly the same. I am not promoting that they are VRD fogs, but I think they are great quality fogs for your so called "imported knockoff"

That's fine. I hope they do keep working. I'm just a little more picky about the things I'll put on my car. Mainly avoiding shady imported eBay stuff.

I don't think anyone has had a single problem with the VRD/APT fogs, except for the horrible glare of course. They make 100x more sense than the OEM fogs and look 100x better than those hideous other eBay fogs.

i wouldn't exactly call the kit a "knockoff" kit though. "knockoff" says cheaper and lower quality but the APT is the EXACT same light
