Nigel is right. They are not officially valenti (hence the plain packaging).
Im not trying to discredit OP. The manufacturer is trying to take advantage of the Valenti brand, not the OP. Ill be seeing Valenti in person in a few weeks, ill be able to talk to them directly about this although they are already aware of it.

We also carry Toyota Type 1 Valenti fog for Prius C/Prius III if you need that

I speak with Valenti Japan and they confirmed they do NOT have this product.
They are also aware of this thread and what I am saying in here.

The fog lamps are nothing like those that you link. Your attempts to discredit the OP are unsubstantiated. I don't know if they are "Valenti" but they're definitely not what you posted. The box they came in was plain and had no engraving anywhere that mention "Valenti" nor does the documentation they came with but they are a mirror image of the pics posted by @Broz and @pansontw.

In regards to the fitment, they fit just fine. How do I know? Because I have them. They have the exact same fitment as the OEM fog lamps, which are what I replaced with these.

My link is showing the fog light housing shape only.
Not the product that you have on hand.
Valenti Japan already purchased a set of what you have on hand and confirmed this is NOT their product.
Someone is trying to take advantage of the brand of Valenti Japan.
And they would like us to point this out to the community.

As far as I know, the current seller is not purchasing the Valenti product that he sell from Valenti Japan.
All of the light are straight from the grey market from the factory in Taiwan.
These products are the B grade product which cannot be supply to Japan and the factory have to clear them out.

We double checked w/ our supplier regarding this item.
Our supplier admitted that this is not Valenti brand. We apologized for not confirm w/ our supplier and use Valenti brand for title.

We will fully refund your money if you would like to return.

In the mean time, we will remove Valenti's name from Title.

However, we disagree your thoughts saying our products are B graded.

This is like international version of Text Book if you've ever bought text books online. We don't have fancy packaging and stickers. We do follow our rule not to sell international version lamps to restricted area.
80% of the sellers on forum and on Ebay are through the same platform.

We offer more options for end customers to choose.
Just like text books. You can buy expensive in school book store. Alternatively, you can buy international version if you have limited fund!

All I know is the lamps are very high quality and they're pretty neat. Full power LED on the exterior serve as DRL, when you turn the headlights on the LEDs dim and the projector illuminates. The build quality is very good. If you can look beyond the "brand" or lack thereof you'll own a very unique and quality set of fog lamps.

These fogs definitely fit the Toyota 86 and of high quality. They are a 100 times better quality than the OEM cheap plastic fogs I replaced.

@pansontw is a great vendor, offers low prices, always willing to help and stands by his warranty for the items he sells.
