Default Factory foglights

Want to get the OEM factory foglights . Anyone have input into how well they light up the road . Was thinking of HID's instead at first . Like the look of the foglights . Not avalible here in Vancouver BC . A quick trip over the border , Scion Bellingham $ 350.00 with install .

Does it have to be oem? I bought the eBay knockoffs ($70), oem fog light switch($55), and DDM hid ($60). Install it yourself in about an hour, it's fairly easy. The only person who'll know it isn't all oem is you and those you tell. Anyways mine are cheaper and brighter than oem and has been running fine for over a year now.

If you ever look side by side OEM is built much better. But you get what you paid for applies here.

Yeah you pay more for OEM . However the fit is %100 . Don't mind the extra cost for the quality .

Fair enough, though once on my car I can't really tell the difference with oem.

My 2011 already had them installed when I bought them. Love having them, they really help at night.

I payed $250 for mine AFTER i bought my car. Install took about an hour and a half. Got em wrapped in yellow vinyl. Output is nice, and they compliment my 6000K lowbeams very well
