Choose: Factory Fogs or Aftermarket

I have a 95 GLE with Grids in place of where the fogs ought to be. Looking for feedback on whether its worth getting the factory ones installed.

Been searching on courtesyparts.com and it doesnt seem like they have it available.

Its either the factory ones or the Hella Micro DE's in the lower grill.

thanks

I have both, I installed some good aftermarket fogs, but they barely lit up the road. honestly, install the oem's, they light up the road directely infront of you, and more importantly, they increase your headlight beam pattern from only being infront of you, to both sides of you. Right now I honestly look at my aftermarkets as being a waste of money.

OEM fogs

I would also recommend getting aftermarket driving lights if you have some $$$ (CATZ, Hella, PIAA), that's the set-up that I have = OEM fog lights + CATZ XLO driving lights and it's great.

I like the oem fogs the best, that's actually one of the reasons I would only buy an SE.
