Fog lights

Would have been easier to add a poll to the thread. And this also should belong in the exterior forum

Fogs. Looks cooler and more functional than DRL led strips 👌🏾

Absolutely fog lights. Those LED strips make the car look cheaper IMO. I even started to dislike the BRZ led strip after 3 years so I removed it.

I hate to choose between fog lights OR brake airducts though. I'd like to have later, yet not that much to remove stock fog lights. APR or Touge Factory or Velox .. they all use that space

For looks, fog lights look great. For functionality, these cars are already so low to the ground that fog lights don't serve too much of a purpose. Maybe put white DRLs in a fog housing?

This. Originally I had those DRL strips on my list, I'm glad I didn't go that route.

I'm sticking with the stock (no fogs) housing. Although I would go with these if I ever had the need to:

I think they would pair nicely with an oil cooler.

Love the look of break vents too.
