Default LED Foglights

Hello,

Has anyone tried these OEM style LED fog lights from Anzio or TOOGOO? I found these on amazon and they were decently priced. Links attached:
Amazon Amazon
Amazon Amazon

If you don't think they are reliable, do you guys know of any other options to get these OEM style foglights?

Jay

Did you go with the Morimoto XB LED foglights? Can you also send me a picture of yours?

Those are the ones! They look exactly like the factory units, but with 5000k LED output. You can slightly notice the projector lens when looking at them too. They have been working perfect for years and I burn them 24/7 when the headlights are on.

I'll try and get a picture posted later today.

Okay great! I would love to see pictures, as I want to keep everything OEM looking. I noticed that the fog lights do have a smoked out effect-- hopefully they're not too dark compared to the chrome shroud that is around it. My RX is the non-F sport version.

I also ordered the Morimoto led housings, just shipped today! Not sure how crazy I’m going to be about the tinted look but the output/cutoff is awesome. I saw you tube videos comparing most of the aftermarket led fog lights for toyota/Lexus. Most of the vehicles of this era shared the same fog light. All of the Chinese knock off ones were horrible. The cutoff is blinding and the output is horrible. With lighting I’ve trusted Morimoto/RetrofitSource for years nothing but top notch with allot of R&D put into it. You do end up paying a premium, but it’s well worth it.

Ha just noticed this is from two years ago lol!!

Sorry for the stupid question, but are you all changing just the bulb or the entire housing?

The entire housing for the Morimoto. Output and cutoff is awesome. Once installed they don’t look tinted at all.

You can install cool white or pure white bulbs into your fog lights but the output will be horrible. They are made for 9006 halogen bulbs, and do a good job of dispersing that light. Stick a led or a hid bulb in there and it will just blind everyone as the light won’t be aimed at all. The Morimoto housings are created to disperse heat and to beautify disperse the light from the bumper down filling the gap bellow the hids but not high enough to blind anyone.

Oh, didn't know that. My 2010 rx350 has h11 for both fogs and low beams so it sounds like if I wanted to upgrade to hid or LED, a whole new housing is required. I threw a morimoto kit into a 2015 Camry that came with halogens, didn't change the projector, and it looked just fine. My rx350 is older though, so never messed with it as I think the light is adequate with halogens. Maybe an H9 upgrade but I digress.

My mistake it is a H11 bulb, I mixed up both of the RX with my other car. Everything else I said applies just the wrong bulb number. The halogen fogs are bright but the mid matching colors drove me crazy. The Morimoto fogs match the headlights perfectly.
