Crystal Clear? THe only clear ones I know of are the genuine JDM bB ones.

The US market fogs all seem to have a greyish tint to them (which on my white box special, Vanilla, look fine to me).





The ones shown are from Japan via eBay, and cost me $65 for the pair...

^no I believe he's thinking like the "euro-clear" look that was popular a few years ago. I do not believe they make anything like that right now but I will keep my eyes open...just out of curiosity why are you looking for clear-clear ones?

The difference from the JDM Toyota fogs and the USDM fogs is inside, the lenses are the same.
Inside the Japan version is fully chrome finish , ours are grey metal

Yeah, I'd much rather have the JDM chrome, but I'll take my cheapo aftermarket lamps as-is.

Yeah but there not the ones on e-bay
The e-bay ones @$65-$90 have a genuine Toyota lens and an aftermarket metal housing. JDM ones - ($225-270)
There is an e-bay seller w/true JDM fogs, he does not have them listed now but if you send him a message he will get a set for you

None of the aftermarket ones to my knowledge have chromed interiors - only the Genuine Toyota bB JDM units ($$$).
