Default VRD/APT fog light questions?

i want to get some VRD fog lights for my 09 tc and i read on another thread here on scionlife that APT is the same exact thing as VRD and it just costs cheaper. is this APT fog light that i found on ebay legit? please help me out.

also, if these are legit, i could use an H3 HID kit on these right?

^^ im using a h3 hid kit. you have to be very careful though they dont' fit EXACTLY but they can be tightened enough that they fit. don't over tighten or you will burst the bulb. but yea they fit and im running 6k hids with no problem for 6 months now.

The reason they dont suggest HIDs is because they give off a ton of glare that will blind people.
