I wouldn't buy those, if you want good fog lights go to http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/3rd-ge...port-fog-light

They are OEM fitment and will last you a lot longer then the JDM LED one you're looking at, they are a little pricy but you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps. good luck

Yeah I think he's looking for a budget fog lights. Big difference in price. Quality is never going to be same but he's probably just doing it for looks.

An option is to buy option 3 from nigel for $214 and find some hid fog lights at a junk yard from another car that fit. Check and see how much junk yards want for the hid fog lights first.

with how new the car is, I don't think you'll be able to find one in the junkyard or pick/pull

I have a '14 IS 350 with factory fog lights. I've had other cars with fog lights both factory and aftermarket so I do have points of comparision. I have to say that my IS 350 factory fog lights offer minimal additional lighting from the driver's POV. This may be because I have LED headlighs and they are minimizing the effect the fog lights, I'm not sure. Perhaps someone with a MY '15 can weigh in because they have LED fog lights where mine on the '14 are conventional. I just thought I'd offer my opinion before anyone drops a grand on the factory kit. I honestly do not feel they are worth that kind of money.

Has anyone changed the fog lights yet???? I have a '14 non-F Sport IS250 with the LED headlights and trying to do what I thought would be a "SIMPLE/EASY" mod. Disappointed the the LED fogs (entirely different assembly) are now standard on 2015's. Getting conflicting answers. Currently has H16 low watt bulbs that look too yellow compared to the LED headlights and not much illumination. Would like to change to a LED fog to better match the color. My Lexus dealer said that a H11 LED bulbs will not fit. HELP!!! Also, can anyone suggest a good on-line outlet to purchase and what color temp would be a better match? The brightness not as important as the color since the current stock bulbs don't provide much illumination anyway.
