Default Fog light?

Can you recommend me a fog light kit for my 2015 IS250 fsport? Which one is similar to OEM?

Thanks bro. I like the bottom 2 in your post which came with harness. I can use the H11 LED in that foglight housing, right?
The iJDMtoy foglight has a yellow line tint because of the LED cob make me not choosing it.

I have the middle link, you can change the H11 for H11 LEDs. not sure about the last one.

i didn't get them from aliexpress, would've considered had i known beforehand. shipping time could be a long time, if you don't mind the wait.

edit: i got this fog switch cause the one that came with the kit was no good (gotta press hard, otherwise it just turns the fogs on and off). this amazon switch is plug and play with the fog harness. it comes in a variety of styles, i got the blue.

last edit: i got these h11 LEDS. they aren't bright enough for my liking, but i love how you can toggle between yellow and white. amazing, right?

It's a bit of a challenge but I was extremely unsatisfied with those aftermarket fog "lights." I went totally pro and used Genuine Toyota hardware. Basically they're the same projection units currently in your F Sport headlights. But from the Corolla.

At night, it's powerful. Having four LED projectors.

yea, just flip te switch on and off. if you never turn off ur lights and leave them on auto, it’ll always default back to the color it was previously on

I'd go
Spyder Auto OEM JDM styled LED (these are dead on exact copy mold of the OEM JDM ones)
http://ebay.to/2BGspG9

or
WinJet brand foglights (throw some H11 bulbs of your choice in after)
http://ebay.to/2CBTAyR

Do you know if what kind of bulb they use for the Spyder one? They have the bulb inside the box so it is very hard to tell. I just wish it is not halogen and will be changeable to LED (H11 maybe) easy.

I got them from retrofit source. it's a VERY custom/DIY type of thing though. lots of cutting, drilling, shaping, wiring. labor of love. if you don't have experience light modding, it will be hard. i've done several high-end OE/OEM conversions on several brands of cars, ripped several new luxury cars apart straight from the dealer, so it's second nature to me.

you retrofitted projectors into those aftermarket fogs? neat... was looking into doing our headlights, but the side load bulbs on my single projector makes it virtually impossible. I might look into doing it your way.

I wanted fog lights for the longest time but I seen so many options thrown around and people mentioning that the light distribution wasn't good with the aftermarket ones that I stopped looking. I noticed someone posted one from Aliexpress and then the two links above. Which one is the go-to for the fog lights? I really want to get this done but get confused with all the options. Just curious, is it worth doing?
