That would make an awesome DIY installation writeup of the ducts and hoses given the sealed wheel well.

And yes, its a button instead of the "switch" used to turn on/off the dash EL on the 10 series.

I'm sorry but I think it's stupid for something that is "factory" to look and act so aftermarket. These cars should have the fog light option on the stalk the way it should be. For the price they could have been done better.. Just my opinion..

Perhaps in a model year or two they will make the change...

You are correct, the BRZ and GT86 both have them on the turn stalk. However, those fogs I believe are factory installed. The FRS fogs are port installed/dealer so it does take less work to add the new bezel with button than removing and installed a new stalk. It's all about the money.

One can only hope but since I couldn't wait that long I did mine already the proper way stalk and illuminated indicator fully functional.

I believe your right and trust me i know its always about the money but at the same time I just wish a "factory" kit was truly factory

@Tofu driver's Fr-s

The Scion kit looks and works fine for the price and there's other kits out there if you want the "factory" look.

I'm ok with mine.

I think you misunderstood my point. Ive done my research I know all the other kits and other ways to do fogs, like I said I've already done my fogs. I respectfully disagree, I believe that price is absurd for a push button option but to each his own.

Also you have a beautiful car, I love my whiteout but that color is some kind of special.

I like. I'm still trying to find a good looking and level location to get some shots with the drl's on. I'm finding myself driving towards or next to windows and other reflective surfaces just to see the car in motion. GoPro time.
