Hey guys,

Long time lurker and first time poster. I recently hit a big pothole and thankfully no damage to my 350 except that the fog lens cover has shattered.

I ordered this part, would this look different than the OEM?

Has anyone ordered from them and was satisfied?

If not, anyone replace one of their bumper fog lights with an aftermarket/direct replacement and don't notice the difference between the two?
I was thinking about cancelling this order and order directly from Lexus because I'm afraid that this part might end up looking different. In the description, it does say that its a direct replacement for the 812100W050 parts.

I'd appreciate your responses, thanks!

I personally feel OEM parts are better in the sense that the glass is probably more durable. its on sewell lexus for $119.43 with the clublexus discount

Thanks for your reply. I'm going to cancel my order with them and order from sewell.com. Looks like with the discount and after shipping + tax, its coming up to $130. I rather have the genuine part in my IS350.

No problem! I'm the same way with quality

Received my part from Sewell (pretty fast since were both in Texas) and finished installing it without any issues.

I followed some old thread from googling on how to replace the fog light but they failed to mentioned a couple of things! Like how to take off the back panel of the bumper to gain access to the lamp and how to correctly insert the lamp (it looked odd since the far tabs weren't inserted first before screwing the tab in).

Anyway, I'm glad I got it done and now I know how to do it! Not to mention save my $$$, I think Lexus charges $430 for the lamp replacement?

Sewell part + doing it yourself = $$$$ saved. Congrats on the fix.
