There aren't any aftermarket really unless you're looking at getting a whole new front bumper too.

I recommend you just ebay the part. You can get a used foglight housing for about 50 bucks which is way more reasonable than 175 bucks..

Just put in a search for "IS250 foglights" or "IS350 foglights" I just took a look and there are some for around 50 bucks, and as high as 120 bucks(i only looked at OEM housings).


Take a look around and make sure you order the correct side. Good luck.

lol ian, must've been really tired :P


i'll translate for ya.

before,
i was looking into getting a set off ebay so i could painting the inner housing and is i screwed up i still had my stock set and i wont be out so much money and down time.

after,
I was looking into getting a set off ebay so i could paint the inner housings on them. Incase i screwed up i would still have my original housings that i can throw back on so there won't be any downtime. Also i wouldn't be out so much cash since they're cheaper on ebay than the dealer.

thanks xuningshen haha. well i think i am going to buy them from depo as suggested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07...#ht_1666wt_928

however there appears to be a blue overlay in the picture. i just emailed asking if the foglights are clear or blue. im hoping they are clear so they will match my other foglight

no worries, my fog lights could be replaced, on one of them, the mounting bracket is broken when i hit some stupid debris on the freeway a long time ago, so its kinda just floating in there, can't tell untill you give it a lil tap with your hand and it moves around.

Those are Real OEM parts right? or aftermarket made to look like oem?
