Default ebay fogs???

i want some fogs for my 04... i have been looking for some OEM but they still want like $300 for a set. I was looking on Ebay and found some that come with the harness, relay, and switch for like $60 to $90. I know you get what you pay for but would these plug up just like the stock ones with out much modification?

here is a set i was looking at ( i would just need to remove the plastic holder around the lights)

installed fogs in my `04 the first month I bought it. Went to local walmart and picked up $25 set of fogs 3" diameter and they fit in fine. Have been through 2 sets since then due to road debris cracking glass lens but have been great so far, good lighting as well. Actually have the axis 90deg shifted so the pattern is vertical and really enhances light output at night.

Have you thought about calling Longo Toyota for oem? You get oem quality at a better price, no sales tax, and free shipping.

Buyer beware. I bought a set for my 2011 Camry. If you look under fitment. It clearly states their maybe slight gaps. 1/4 gap on the sides of the front covers. The lens was cracked inside the lens. It was not worth the cheap price for the set @70 dollars.

The ebay fog are easy to install but they don't fit right. I have a set of the yellow one and that was a waste of $60. Water leak and it does not sit straight (perpendicular).

The fogs are side specific. There is a little stubby that indicate the top of the fog and an angle adjustment screw that sit inside a plastic clip. That clip is the only thing that will hold the fog onto the bumper. The clip will slide into a hole that is found on the bumper once the fog cover has been remove.

I have ebay fogs on my XA and I noticed that they wiggle around inside the bumper hole. Other than that, they look great. I'm planning on wedging a thin piece of cardboard to keep them from shimming.

I've had "OEM Style" fogs on 3 different cars already and haven't had any problems.

I currently have my XA at the shop getting the clutch replaced, but i'll take some pictures
