Frs fog light kit on ebay! Anyone try these?
 
Here's a link to the fog light kit that I came across on ebay.

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewi...841&cmd=VIDESC

Has anyone bought these or seen the results of these fog lights, or seen if they fit correctly?

Those are the ones I want to buy.. last I seen them they were 150

Yah I mean they look legit but compared to the OEM $700 ones, I find the price skeptical. If anyone buys them let me know the results. I'm looking forward to buying them if I can get some members feedback on this kit.

Skeptical on the switch since the fr-s only has the trunk and gauge brightness there.

I saw a member here with the fog switch there but he had to drill to have it mounted there.

Honestly I would shell out the few extra bucks to save a lot of headache herehttp://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34169

Which estimates to around $181~

My GT86 has fog lights. I haven't even turned them on yet.
Why do you want fog lights so bad? They're kind of useless in all but extreme conditions.

I used the fogs all the time in my A4 - i like having a better view of whats to the side of the road without using my brights to blind people

Unless you put them on yourself, I have a feeling you'll end up paying more for labor etc then you are going to be paying for the entire item.

86driver 05-30-2013 07:09 PM

Yah I was planning on putting them on myself, half the fun is working on the car. I was just wondering if specifically anyone has tried this kit

Click on the photo in the ebay link. Here: http://www.donmar.com/12Volt/Lights.htm

They don't look that bad in my opinion.

That's a bad habit IMO. (And it's illegal in many parts of the world.)
Two reasons for this:
1. Your fog lights will annoy and "blind" oncoming traffic.
2. The effective range of what you can see is limited to the brightest part of the road. You can see further ahead with just your low beam than you can with your fog lights on.

The general rule of thumb is you should only use fog lights when visibility is under 100m/330ft. And even then it's a judgement call, in heavy snow it's often better to leave them off.

So by all means, buy cheap aftermarket fog lights as bling on the car, but please don't use them unless it's absolutely necessary.
