I smashed my driver side fog light while doing e brack spins in a parking lot. I have been looking around for a replacement for the driver side, although the passenger side also has a small crack in it. The reason I wanted to go with the stock setup is because of the fit. I like the fact that they fit flush with the bumper. I know that the stock lights are pretty wuss, is there a good replacement that fits the stock holes well?

 

bump bump...........................

 

I have a driver side light probably available, My passenger side broke by a rock and i just received my aftermarket lights last night. I'll do the install sumtime next week since i work incredibly too much this weekend, PM me and we can talk about prices. Right now i have a offer for 75 + shipping. (Yes the aftermarkets are very small so i am looking something to cover up the gap :/

 

Just go with stock fogs. They make the car look the best and aftermarket fogs looks silly on cars.

 

If you want an upgrade for the fogs you can look into the Lexus Yellow capsule that HIDtech.com offers - http://hidtech.com/projects/lexus%20gs.jpg

I cracked mine the same way along with the bumper light. had a lile trouble getting the new oem light back in. I had to drill my own hole in the bracket to get it to fit flush.Now i have to replace the pass side because it looks old compared to the new one.

 

You would think that some after market company out there would take a good look at the stock fog lights and develop a good replacement that fit the same way. I am getting sick of the getto hole I have where the fog light is suppose to be.

 

stock always beats aftermarket (in terms of foglights anyway), just my 2 cents

 

How did you break your fogs using the e-brake? That is ridiculous!
I would go with the stockies. They just look the best.
Whatever you think though.

 

Stockies are your best bet. You can usually find what you're looking for in the for sale forum or on ebay

 

Another one for posterity.

 

i would go with stock unless u can find a nice rectangular one tht fills the hole nicely without look ing retarded which is hard to to......

Mine is covered in mesh grille.

 

the stock fogs look good when youre looking at the car, but functionally, theyre close to worthless. im going to be getting the bosch compact 100 from www.danielsternlighting.com as soon as i get the money together. the beam pattern is far superior to our stock fogs. these fogs are 4" diameter, round, so they fill the stock hole quiet nicely! the stock hole is 4" tall and about 5" wide

 

Go with the stocks.......................

 

I would stick with stockers. I was thinking of trying to retrofit some projector type fogs (like the Hella Micro DE) into the stock fog housings. I know that the stock fog lens also effects the beam pattern, so it might screw up the projector's beam pattern. Has anyone tried anything like this? I don't like the look of projector foglights (obviously I like their beam pattern), but I really like the look of the stock fogs.

 

I did it on my old max and this one... i've regretted it both times.... Just keep the stock ones. Better quality, better output, look better.....
