Retrofit the Morimoto 70mm XB LED fogs or get a 2011+ bumper that can use those LED OE style.
Or got with 3IS eBay conversion bumper and they come with those. 😃👍

isn’t the f sport bumper the only one that fits them. I thought the to bumpers were the same. Because the sure look like it.

2006-2010 use same IS specific fog lights. 2011-2013 use the newer universal Toyota fogs. Most all Toyota and Lexus since 2011 use the same fog light with slight differences in lense/etc but mounting points are all same.

I was trying to figure out a way without switching bumpers because my 2011 bumper looks identical to the 2011 f sport bumper

The main difference between the 2011 non F-Sport and F-Sport bumpers is the spoilers near the fog lights, and the grille of course. The fogs will fit regardless since they're not the older 2006-2010 style. I'd grab the Morimoto XB LED fogs (I had them on an 07 Camry and loved them), but they're a bit pricier at $170. TRS's customer service and warranty (10 years) is pretty unbeatable though. https://www.theretrofitsource.com/as...to-xb-led.html

I have the Morimoto XB on my Sienna SE. love them for color and look. They use a half projector and have decent spread. The JDMToy ones posted above look like same style but cheaper.

I have the aftermarket OE style on my IS conversion bumper. They are reflector base and aren’t too great on spread. If I see the Morimoto on any sales or clearance, I would pickup a set and sell the OE style ones.

Anyone else have these or have anything to say about them?
Sinister, how they holding up? I was about do an LED bulb swap but I'm guessing the added $$ spent is worth it here...
