How do these compare to OEM foglights?

Looking to add oem fogs to my Maxima. I came across a few sites but the prices vary, but I found these on Ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/09-10-11-NIS...item4aaf7cf730

I would only be using the fogs since I would be getting the stock oem switch installed.

Any other sites that may have a better product if these arent good enough?

Seems to be a knock off, basically looking to see if they are worth it or spend the money for the actual Nissan part?

ask the ebay seller if the lenses are glass or plastic. I'm pretty sure the oem fog lenses are glass and the ebay seller's are plastic.

If you're going to put hid's in the fogs...go with oem...if not, ebay should be fine

*the oem fog lamp kit comes with the fog switch on the headlight stalk

+1
OEM Style != OEM

beyond that I can't state how well they fare long term.
I know when I was looking to replace shattered Honda Ody fog light, all ebay auction stated they are as good as OEM, however they were all made of plastic. The OEM were glass. In the end I decided not to gamble and bought OEM. Perfect fit and quality. Added protective film to both fog lights to prevent expensive repair in the future.

I don't plan on putting HIDs into the fogs so would the plastic lens fogs be ok? Maybe putting in Nokya bulbs or something.

I bought glass ones from Ebay recently, but when they got here they ended up being for a Nissan Altima.

How does one get the color on the factory fogs to match the headlights?

Judging by the picture in the ebay link, those fog lights are for a 08-11 Nissan Altima, even though it says Nissan Maxima. Did you have any problem fitting them?
