Frs fog light kit on ebay! Anyone try these?

[2beFrank]

I bought the kit too, got it installed about 3 days ago and it has been working fine. I replaced the original bulb they sent me with a yellow bulb. There's an on and off switch, mine is currently just hanging by the pedals. When I get the once, i'll install it next to the truck button.

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.

Aren't you confusing fog lights with driving lights? I'm not sure I agree that 55w fog lights aimed down and out will "annoy and blind oncoming traffic". When I see fog lights coming toward me I have yet to be annoyed or blinded when they are aimed properly.


BTW, if these are anything like the Ebay Chinese knock-offs I had for my Scion XB2, they work okay but the bulbs are garbage, the lenses crack very easily, they can't be aimed and require a $50 switch from Toyota which brings the total cost to within $50 of the oem fog lights with good bulbs and lenses. I went through 2 sets in 4 years.

Looks like the kit from Subaru down to the switch that I installed in a BRZ.. Bolted right in, drilled a small hole and everything worked and looked great.. Except the switch.. If anyone wants a factory look the switch kills it, but his did tap into the stak harness for the fog lights and turned the fog light dash light on

bulbs work fine and are nice and bright i orderd a 35w 3000k kit for them ... lenses seems thick and when i tap on them dont sound like its thin or weak.. i can adjust mine with a turn of a screw driver from the back... u dont need any kind of oem switch i just wired mine to the factory fog light wire that is already ran to the turn signals then found the white wire under the steering wheel and ran switch from wire to switch then switch to ground ... works perfect and even shows the fog indacater on the dash comes on with head lights only and use switch when u wanna turn it off or keep it off

Please tell me you mean a 35w 3000k holagen bulbs??? Not a hid kit.. It's bad enough the guys that throw HID in stock projectors without a retrofit, much less a hid in a open housing

Can you get some pictures of the wiring that you did. I'd love to do the setup that you did, but I'd like to know exactly which wires you connected to. If that's possible for you that would be great!

Hi killercl0wnfish,

Congrats, You new fog-lights look great!

Could you explain how you tapped the wires of your aftermarket fog-lights to the factory fog-lights wiring? I thought our FRS does not come with factory fog-lights!

Can you turn your new fog-lights on & off independently from the low beam and the high beam? Thanks!

Wow, the parts to the kit look great. Now, I'll be ordering mine but I want to special order stalk with both the front/rear fog switch from Nijel. Thanks.

We have HID kits and LED foglights (H11) available for the FR-S. Plug and play, no modifications required. The HID kits will throw out more light while the LED foglights will be a subtle upgrade and will match with the HID headlights.

Send us a private message if you folks need any LED and HID upgrades for the foglights
