Default Questions about fog lights

Ugh rough week for my car. First someone steals my junction produce roof spoiler.. and yesterday i hit a giant snow drift which destroyed my TTE lip and foglight.

Just wondering if anyone has purchased these replica fog lights and what the quality is like?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1998-2005-LEX...vxp=mtr&_uhb=1

Also.. since they're clear capsule.. can i put my yellow capsules in?

Also wondering if it would be worth it to go led or hid? Maybe someone knows where i can get some oem yellow capsule fogs for cheaper than $300?

Appreciate the help guys.

My dude, forget them fog lights, THESE are the ones you want AND you can put yellow bulbs or LED's in them too:

Amazon.com: Lexus Gs300 Gs400 Gs430 Front Led Bumper Lamps Drl Fog Lights Chrome Clear: Automotive Amazon.com: Lexus Gs300 Gs400 Gs430 Front Led Bumper Lamps Drl Fog Lights Chrome Clear: Automotive

Minus well upgrade since your pretty much starting over and repairing.

Sorry but those are not an upgrade! Good choice OP on avoiding them.

kbcarstuff kits are good quality. Hard to say for sure if they're worth the premium price but they are a reputable company that's been around and should be around to take care of you.

this is tacky and not a good choice.

OEM glass clear or yellow lens looks best imo.

Yea i like the oem glass just fine but they're expensive and seem to be a magnet for rocks. One of mine is cracked after a rock hit it and another is a year old but the tabs broke.

i think you will be fine with the clear lenses and plastic housing. No one will know unless you point it out. HID or any yellow buld will shine pretty well through the clear..
