Default Foglights

I was looking at my boy's IS300 foglights and I think they look so much better than ours, just my opinion. I want something that looks a bit newer, projectors maybe but don't want anything ricey. I found a few aftermarket lights but havent seen them on our actual car. Please post pics of your foglight setups.
These were the only ones I could find that didnt look too ricey , the others had LED lights which look horrible.

You're on the right track avoiding the leds!

Projectors retrofitted in the stock housings with fiberglass bezels.

Yeah, that's what I was going for as well, hated the glare of hids in the stock fogs. The projectors I used are discontinued but if you can find 2" fog projectors and do some measurements it's not that hard. I can elaborate on how I did I it if you're interested.

I'm not sure if you like these, but these give the foglights a little bit of an Audi feel to them. The website selling them even has a DIY video on how to hook them up...

I have LED outer rings and projector headlights setup and those LED fogs compliment my setup very well, the day time running LED's on the fogs as well as the daytime running LED rings in my projectors. fit nicely with my daytime and night time setup. My only complain with the fogs is that they are not really intense or bright enough. But I bought an extra pair and will be inserting new bigger LED's in there to get what I want out of them.

well lets add this up....from memory since they are a little old

$150 for the OEM ALTEEZA's shipped from Japan
$175-200 for the BNIB OEM fogs
$150-200 for the Kazz surrounds
$40 paint on them
$300-400 labor on stripping open the Alteeza ones,removing the projector,opening the BNIB ones (a feat very few people have accomplished), fabricating a housing for them then securing them, resealing them

since you havent been around here btw, i HAVE bought several pair of stocks for $50 just not good ones

so your offer again is what, cause we both know your not gonna pay anything close to what i have in them

no panties...i always go commando but who tries to buy something off of somone's running car?
