That certainly looks like a good alternative to the OEM Fogs

Installation was simple, just pull back the wheel liner and unscrew one screw. I did have to trim one tab on the new set to make it fit snug.
Light output is amazing. Color is same as my morimoto 5k low beams. I recommend these and they look like they are very similar to the 2014 OEM ones.

The top, inside tab. There are 4 tabs. Two inside tabs slide into place and the outside two can be screwed on.

maybe someone that just ordered a set can take a few pics when they're installing these. would be a good DIY.

i currently replaced my halogens with HIDs and since there's no projector, the light is flooding everywhere. i get high beamed by everyone from the opposite lane. so i just turn them off now unless it is absolutely necessary lol...
interested in these , from the pics it looks like there's a cut off.

thx in advance if someone puts a DIY thread up!

I just received mine on Friday installed today after work took about 15-20 minutes. Extremely easy did not need to modify anything. I just turned my wheels in and removed the two clip/tabs and lower bolt and folded my fender liner reached inside took out the factory fog lamp and reversed process for installation. So far everything looks good i will drive tonight and see how they preform. Now i just need to change those pesky drls to led i will be ordering a full led swap soon. Once again Props to The Retrofit Source for the quick shipping received product with in 2 days of placing my order.

I must say i like them a lot they preform as well if not better then halogen at least to my eye. The color is pure crystal white. I recommend these to anyone. . Only comparison now is aftermarket l.e.d fogs vs factory l.e.d fogs.



Sorry for crappy picture just snapped one on the way in.

Installed mine yesterday.Very easy swap. Top quality. Color is is great, like crystal white. The previous owner had HID's in there. With no projector, it must have blinded oncoming drivers. Sloppy install to boot.

Hey can you post up pics with the yellow ones? Want to see if light output is sacrificed. And hopefully it comes installed on the lens already instead of you having to apply it. Thanks.

Thanks LexusNN for the pics!

ya i have HIDs in there right now and I get high beamed by oncoming traffic whenever I have them on. So I just leave them off.

Waiting for my order to come in so I can swap out the blinding HIDs. they were 55W like the OEM halogens too.... I would suggest these if you want to high beam someone

If you have the led headlights I think the 5k led would match up better then the 6k. I went with oem as they match with the leds but might switch as these things are freaking bright

I have the Retrofit Source and there is no flicker or any resistors or relays needed. They are truly PNP.
