Has anyone tried these?

They should fit according to this chart

Not surprisingly a lot of the Toyota and Lexus use the same fog light. I was wondering about that one day seeing some of the fog lights on the current gen Prius and some Corollas.

900 lumens is very weak but they might look good.

Color might be a good match, depending on the LED in them. What is considered a good fog light output? I have a Philips LED bulb in use in the house. It's 18W and puts out 900 lumens. So this does it in half the wattage. I have a set of old PIAA pro fogs that I remember putting out a pretty good amount of light, maybe I'll dig them up and see how they compare to my 18W flood light bulb.

Here's an interesting ad.

Maybe I'll see if I can find a HID fog light set instead. Looks like HID has a little bit of efficiency according to the chart on the site.

Like he said, 900 lumens might be a little weak. I think your standard 55 watt 9005 fog light bulb is about 1800 lumens. About twice as bright. And then you could upgradde to a 100 watt bulb and throw out tons of light.

And at 5300 K, that's pretty blue. It'll have that "cool" modern look, but I doubt it'll do much for being an efficient fog light. You might want to look at something in the 2300 K to 2800 K range. Something a little more yellow.

Here is a good article on just that color for fogs that explains it way better than I could.

Now Airman, I don't disagree with you or Stoodo that 900 lumens is not that great of output for $300+ However I believe the standard h11 bulb in our cars are somewhere under 1000 lumens. Even in the artical you llinked a standard 55w 9006 bulb has 1000 lumens. Yes I do agree with you a yellow bulb would be much better for fog, I've had pretty nice yellow PIAA fog lights in the past.

Now for some really nice lights, maybe for the same price I can retrofit some HID bulbs, at 35w I can have about 3500 lumens, so even with a yellow filter I could afford to loose lots of light and still have a very good fog light system!

I stand corrected on 900 lumens sucking... The regular H11's are ~1200-1300 lumens. I say close enough.

I wouldn't put HIDs in due to the lack of a projector.

TonyHS

But you can add a projector.

I'm tempted to do the ones you linked to in the first post. I hate (and am very poor at) removing the wheel well liners to get to the fogs though, so I'll probably wait for one of you guys to do a write up.

TonyHS

Actually it looks like you dont need to remove the wheel liners at all.

You have to remove the WHOLE FRONT BUMMPER!!!!!

Yes I was using all caps because I was YELLING!!! lol

I'm still trying to find a more cost effective option before I tackle this one... Maybe I'll just end up putting the yellow film over the lens, so the light color looks different enough from the head lights.

Whole front bumper?!?!?!

I'm out!

Ro_Ja Boy

Why so hesitant to remove the bumper?

TonyHS

A major PIA. Risk damamging a major part.

I'd likely scratch the crap out of it and never get it back on properly. I am betting that you can still get to the fogs through the wheel well linings...

TheAirman

Maybe not the whole front bumper, and you're handy, and you don't mind scratched up arms. But that's why I did this:
