Default Problem with 2016 fsport fog lights from nigel

I tried to install the fog lights but the driver side has the windshield washer fluid container blocking access for the fog light to sit properly. Has anyone fixed this some how it figured out some other solution








Passenger side worked perfectly fine

JDM spec cars must have a different shape fluid container or it may not even be there at all.

I have a 2015 GS Fsport and encountered the same issue. Apparently, Lexus for some reason used a larger fluid container from 2015 on. I contacted the fog light manufacturer (iJDMToy) and they said that I need to swap out the fluid container from a 2013-14 model for me to install the fog light.

Looks like no fog light for me too!

Welcome to my world, he should have told you that I bet you also u were missing screws and is ur wiring short also. so the part number the Biggame gave u is correct, I came up with that I have it on my car , do not look and the online pics they are all wrong just go to dealer and order that 85315-30460, and get 8 extra screws also while ur at it so u can mount the lights correctly. and if u need help let me know I went threw that , it took me over 2 weeks 2 finish because Mr.nigel didn't know anything about it, and I had to ruin my factory reservoir. And by the way did u take the bumper off to mount it or u did it on the car.

I wasn't doing it my self, so I paid a guy who charged $50 and then I had to put everything back cause we couldn't finish the job..he did peel the bumper a bit from botton to get in there. but I guess now to change the reservoir we will need to take it off.

Noooo, there is no way u can get to the screws with out taking the bumper out, and also u have to make sure u get new screws like I said, u cant just put any screw in it, u will crack it, its cheap at the dealer 90cents ea. do the job once and do it right, don't ruin the car, trust me i went threw it already , its up to u. Like I said u need help just ask me.
