Yes, you can wire the relay to be triggered by your existing lights. I just grabbed the parking light wire from the Blind Spot switch. My foglights will turn on and off based on my parking lights.

I guess you could just buy the bezel and try to fit aftermarket but it will not look as clean as the factory. It is expensive but well worth the money... They are LED and not HID or halogen, top quality stuff!

Does anyone know if the slits on where the fog lights should be on the F-sport serve any function?

I asked Lexus this and they said no, only for appearance. In other words, fake crap.

Yes, to let water and dust pass through...

Hoping someone can answer this question for me. I bought the kit from Nigel and my installer told me the housing did not include bulbs in the kit, is this true? What bulbs does the kit use?

get a hold of nigel. the kit should have included everything...including the bulbs. depending on which kit you ordered, you're not just talking about the bezels/housing right? you have the projector lenses that actually include the fog light right?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I will get a hold of him and see, I got the entire kit with the projector lenses, but I forgot to check if there were bulbs inside when the package arrived, so I was not sure if they just wired it improperly, or there isn't a bulb inside.

UPDATE:
They wired it wrong and the bulbs are inside....

is this a question or statement? if you want everything to look stock you don't have to buy anything. if you want to buy the kit from nigel, it's going to cost a G. if you get lucky and want cheaper after market lights, wait for ijdmtoys to restock.

That fog light switch looks like it's for the rear fog lights.. At least that's what the symbol stands for.. Front fog lights generally have a beam pattern going down. Nevertheless.. Good write up and it looks awesome

Are the fogs adjustable in terms of height? Similar to the headlights in our cars where you can use a philips screw to move up and down the beam patterns.

Yes, the fog lights are adjustable with a phillips screwdriver through a hole in the wheelwell directly below each fog light.

Resurrecting the dead here, but I've got an install question.
I got Nigel's kit with the oem stalk. The kit also came with an aftermarket switch and separate harness for said switch...
I have the fogs mounted and wired with the included harness, so I have only the yellow wire running through the firewall into the cabin.
My question is, how exactly do I wire the oem stalk? I know from reading, to use pins 10 and 11, but which wire goes to which pin? Do I use that smaller harness even if I'm not using the aftermarket switch?
I have that diagram of the stalk harness from Joe Z, but it shows a white and white/black wire going to 10 and 11...but from where?

Thanks guys.
-Greg
