Default Aftermarket fog lights for gs3 - post pics

I am on the fence about changing the fog lights on my 450h. Anyone have any pics of fog lights they have installed. I like the Artisan fog lights but still undecided.

Are you talking about the fog light "housing" as well? Are you custom fitting the Artisan fogs into the oem space?

I saw this picture on Artisan's website and loved the look of the fog lights, I wasnt sure if anyone has installed them on there car. It looks like they fit into the OEM bumper and you do not have to change it. Was hoping to see any memebers pics of any changes to the original fog lights.

I believe that is a full bumper replacement with the fog lights. However, I think they sell a lip similar to that for 06/07 bumpers.

The only foglight housing upgrade I've seen is the JDM LED ones.

correct, to get the artisan spirits fog lights, you need to get their front bumper replacement as well.

Thanks for the post Storm but I found this post already, I was asking if anyone else had found or installed any other fog lights other than the ones pictured! I have been searching fo rdays and have not seen any others. Just thought maybe another member had.

you can't fit aftermarket jdm fogs (eg: artisan spirits) unless you get their front bumper as well. so your only choice would be:

1) lexus japan oem hid fogs;
2) get the aftermarket jdm front bumper to go with the jdm aftermarket fogs;
3) or the cheapest solution - get a regular hid kit
4) mercedes benz LED fog light (see post below)
5) stand alone fog light kits (eg: piaa - see post below)
6) LED bumper guards (see post below)

now if you're willing to experiment, you could buy the jdm fogs and try to make it fit into your stock bumper. but the cost and possible bad fitment makes it very iffy at best (imho). where there is a will, there is a way; it all depends on how far (in terms of cost and time) you're willing to make this mod work.

yes i recall, however i forget his name. not sure if his GS was a jdm bumper replacement or a jdm front lip, or whether it was an easy install or not.


edit: found the mercedes LED fog mod:
