With our discount, it's not too far off of that.

Went to KBCarstuff.com and ordered LED fog lights for the car. They only cost $50 for the pair.

Awesome! What color temperature did you end up getting?

Probably too early for anybody to install since they just became available.

I will be getting these fog lights soon because my driver side LED went out a few days ago. I'll let you know how the install went. Keep in mind, Sewell was showing these on back order.

I ordered a set they show in stock on the order so I guess I'll find out!

Kind of soon for the LED to go out. Good luck on the install and let us know how it goes.

Yeh, we had some heavy rain a few weeks ago and I was right in the middle of it. I'm pretty sure I lost my seal integrity around my fog lights when I forced the LED bulbs in. I was expecting to have to change out the housing anyway. So upgrading to the '14 fog lights and housings is perfect timing for me.

Default Retro-Fit of 2014 Fog Lights to 2013

Has anyone completed a retro-fit yet? It looks easy (famous last words) - but does the LED fog light add to the "look"?

Can you be more specific and tell us the LED's you used? I went on the site and found 10 choices. I'd like to do this. Thanks JM.

I sent Sewell a message asking if it was difficult or any other parts were needed they said it was plug and play just put them in (4 screws) and reconnect the wire,with the CL discount they were 113 each side. They arrived yesterday I'll put them in over the weekend, naturally the temp outside has dropped into the 30's. It always bugged that this and my last cars fog lights were a different color

I just put them in on my 2014 RX 350 today. They are plug and play. Crisp White light.
Easy install once you get the Wheel Well Liner open.
I have Vldes bulbs in on my Es300h. They look great, but I like the distinct cut off line that the Oem Fog lights give off. So going to order a set for my Es300h.

Your OEM LEDs fogs on the RX look pretty good. In your opinion, are they as bright or brighter than the VLEDs and is the light cut off that distinct? Nice to know there is only 4 screws per housing to remove (excluding wheel liner) to change out.

So I'm guessing that even with the OEM LED fogs, they are only meant for aesthetics. They don't seem like high output bulbs that are meant for anything besides looks. On my previous STI I had yellow uprated fogs and they really performed well, then I saw my friends who he just put standard LED's in the fogs for looks and the light output was laughable when you had only the fogs on.
