Default Help: Stock OEM Fog Lights and EBAY OEM like Fog Lights

I've been searching for a while looking for a picture showing the cut off of either the OEM or the EBAY OEM like fog lights. If someone could PLEASE take a picture and post it or send it to me that shows the cut off of just the fog lights on that would be great!

The reason I ask is because I don't want driving lights I want fog lights. A fog light should have a super defined cut off line so as not to kick any light upwards into the fog. I would rather save some cash and get the ebay ones but only if I know the cut off is correct, yet I don't have a problem spending 300+ on the stock ones if they do what I want.

Thanks for your help everyone. You guys rock.

I know the beam pattern of the OEM ones has very little light that goes up and most is directed a short distance to the front and a good deal to the side. I have choose to buy the OEM lights. I will get a picture posted showing the cut off for people within a week after I get it installed. I may also show a few different types of bulbs in the housing, we'll see. I'll keep you all posted.

I tried the OEM style and returned them because I didnt like the beam pattern. They we pencil beam type lights more common to driving lights.

I ended up getting the factory fogs from TRD Sparks and put in yellow bulbs and overlays. I love the beam pattern on them, very useful in fog/bad weather.

Here are some pics on the beam about 10 ft from the wall:

If you came out to more local events, you'd have seen them in person

I think I saw you on Cornelius Pass Rd and West Union yesterday morning?

Definately saw me as I drive that way to work a lot since 26 is all busy lately, I go down Germantown. I'll have to make an event one of these days I am usually just busy. I wanted to make that warehouse event but I was out paintballing with about 10 other people, good times. ;)

So the oem style fogs on ebay arent as good as a cut off and quality as the ones on trdsparks.com?? Cause im tempted to get it from ebay just because how much cheaper it is. I mean trdsparks is $330 and ebay is like $100. I want the factory fogs just trying to decide where to buy them.
