Morimoto Fogs
I am looking at running fog lights on my 14 f sport. All of the kits from ijdm toy and on amazon seem to have many complaints about durability. I am thinking about buying the fog light bezels from ijdm toy and running Morimoto XB led projector housings. Has anyone ever done this before? The Retrofit Source has pics uploaded of them in their show GS but I wonder what kind of modifications might be required that they are not telling us about, and the only review is from a CT owner. Any help at all is much appreciated!

I have Morimoto XB LED fogs on mine '15 F Sport. It doesn't quite match the OE HID but it's good enough for me. I was lucky didn't run into the larger windshield washer reservoir issue. If yours is a '14 you probably won't have any issue with neither. Search for my Morimoto LED fog install thread, too lazy to look it up right now. You'll find all my installation notes and parts number I used.

I don't know what's the difference with LED Morimoto vs OEM. This mod cost me about $750 because I went with OEM stalk and professional installation, it all looks OE on my car. However, it's not worth it IMO. You won't get any noticeable light projection that you can see behind the wheel. It is strictly for aesthetic, I do like the look of the fogs. The F Sport looks empty in that area without fogs. But I'd rather use the $750 for carbon fiber lip or side skirts or something else.

My only issue is the power line has a short and I don't know where to begin to replace the wire.

The Morimoto will fit into JDM bezel just fine. But there will be a bit of light bleed on the edges. Bezel don't sit flush tight to bumper. I can take some night shots of it later.
Here are some pictures of my Morimotos
Water reservoir not in the way..yay!
Morimoto fogs are slight whiter than OE HID. Can't really tell in this picture.

Also, I like the carbon fiber inlays on the dash. Did you do that yourself?

Yeah I'll take some shots later. It's not noticable at night. You can buy OE turn stalk for non F Sport it will work with your car. Wiring is a little more involved but not that complicated. Go search my installation thread I posted links to another member's thread on how he run the wires.
I redid my carbon fiber wrapping. Go here to see pics https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...dash-trim.html

The point of the fogs is to give you visibility between the road and the fog... not light output. They are not designed to illuminate everything like headlights. If you want light output, then get offroad LEDs and mount them instead of fogs!
