Post Fog light installation on 95

I have a 95 without fog lights and want to know where I can get them. Also, how complex is the installation?

Do you need the fog light housings? Or the bulbs? Or both?
Do you want Projectors: http://bit.ly/zl06A8
Or...
Reflectors (this is my personal vehicle): http://bit.ly/A5QJV8

I bought my assemblies on eBay, for projectors you want these (Yes they work for 95's): http://bit.ly/yltp4W
Unfortunately, I cannot find Reflectors on eBay anywhere. But you could find them in salvage yards or other sites.

Bulbs, you want H3 halogen bulbs. I'm using the H3 Putco "Jet Yellow" (item #: 230003JY) bulbs in the picture above: http://www.kbcarstuff.com/Putco-Jet-...lbs-p/23jy.htm

Installation is easy, three screws for each assembly, connect the cables, and to put in bulbs you simply unscrew the back end and pull it out. Everything else is straight forward.

I actually found mine on eBay, they were 1996 ES300 Fog Light assemblies... But I can no longer find them!

However, this might help a bit:

Also, salvage yards would be good!

Keep in mind that if you ever consider putting HID's in your fogs, the projectors are the best option to reduce glare. Otherwise reflectors will work just fine. They are on ebay every now and then but it is getting rare to see them now

Just a quick question seems I may do this in the future,

How do you turn them on if they aren't there originally? On my ES it doesn't have a switch for them or anything (obviously) so if you were to put them in aftermarket, would you have to do your own button/switch or is there some other way of doing it.

If that is the case then you need to have a harness for it to be connected to the battery as well as to a switch of your choice. I connected mine to the cig lighter inside my Camry so it'll turn off once the key is out

AHA!!!!!!!!! After a few days of watching eBay, I HAVE FOUND THEM!
And get this, they are in FLORIDA.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1994-1995-19...#ht_500wt_1203

Swoop on those quick! That is super cheap. I payed $60 for each assembly individually.

Also, while you're on eBay, grab the putco jet yellow's: http://www.ebay.com/itm/H3-Type-Halo...6#ht_500wt_970
