Since all you will need are the JDM garnish covers and the F-Sport bumper..
Now my next step is verify how we will be installing them on the US spec F-Sport.
So far all the data I collected shows that the Fog Lamp Housings and Fog Light Garnish Covers will snap right into place...
Leaving questions on how easy can we wire them... Plus adding a switch.
For what it's worth, the Fog Lamps come with the OEM H11 Halogen bulbs....
But this is a great time to go with a quality aftermarket HID kit..
The Fog Lamps are MSRP'd at $209... But can be had for approx. $130 each..
The Fog Garnish covers imported from Japan will run approx. $37 each
So just parts alone can cost anywhere from $334 to $492 .
(Depending on how & where you buy the parts)

Well not sure if its pre-wired yet...
The OEM headlamp stalk will run additional $200 just for the part...
See how things ADD Up & can quickly get expensive...?? OEM Fogs are MSRP Valued at approx $700.
Now a Toyota stand alone Fog Switch & Wire harness runs approx $75... But you need a blank spot for it to snap in to..
Like below...

Yeah man, too bad we don't have plus rep here on CL. Joe is the fog lamp guru. He did my fogmod on my 04 IS 300 back in the day. I'm sure he'll figure how to do it on 4th Gen GS....right Joe?

VIP..???
The photo was taken & provided by Lexon in Japan.... Not VIP..
You are looking at the JDM Spec F-Sport GS350....... The market outside of the US gets fogs on the F-Sport......
And MY opinion is that the US should have them..!!!
Here is a photo of them ON..!!
Enjoy,

This is a very interesting thread that I'm sure most GS owners will want to read. My wife and I are considering a new GS later this year, and I would love to buy all the JDM fog light parts as well. I look forward to seeing how this all needs to be installed...so it looks factory.
