These fog lights are available from any of the Toyota dealership vendors here on the forums. My local Toyota dealership met the best price on the forum with no charge for shipping. I paid $350 out the door for this kit.

Yes, it is more expensive than some other kits. Yes, some other kits use OEM parts and they look exactly the same. I justify the cost of this kit and rank it higher than the others because of the OEM dash trim and button, plain and simple. No aftermarket switch uglying up your dash, no screwing around with the stalk and steering column.

I couldn't see in the pics, but what is the bulbs wattage?

No idea, I assume 55? I'll go look for you in a few.

Edit: Yeah, 55W.

I cant for the life of me get the inner clips to snap on for the bezel

I'm thinking of switching out the foglight bulb for a HID 6000k.

Here are the official install instructions.

Installed this kit a few weeks ago. Very simple. I swapped out the stock bulbs for 6000k LED's from HID_Powerhouse to match my 6000k HID's and DRL's. They look amazing. I put turn signals in that aren't illuminated unless I signal. Having the signals on and the fog lights together was just too much.

did you remove your bumper? I found most of the install simple except removing the driver side turn signal harness.

Yes, I removed my bumper and took it inside. That way I can check every clip on the bezel, make sure they're all snapped, then mount the light. Very easy if you pull the bumper. It would be very hard if you followed the directions to a T.

I did the install yesterday as per the instructions. It was certainly doable, but very frustrating trying to unplug those harnesses. The rest of the install is very simple.

I'm a little hesitant to remove the bumper because of the reports that it doesn't always line back up when reinstalled. I was going to wait to install radiator, oil cooler, and turbo all at once so I only have to take the bumper off once. Matt, did you have any issues realigning?

[mush]

those clips were pretty tricky, it was getting hot and i was getting frustrated so i stopped lol
i got it to snap on the next day.

i didnt remove my bumper or raise the car to install these

No, I haven't. I've taken mine off 3 times or so. I just carefully snap it back.

how did you manage to get to the turn-signal harness w/o removing the bumper? i thought i tried every which way...

[Zagmeister]

Very simply undo the front part of the wheel well liner and that would actually be easier if you lift the front end of the car.

We are talking some 5 or 6 retainer clips per wheel well liner and then you can - easily - access the electric connection directly above\in-front of the unclipped liner.

I would think you don't want to mess with removing the front bumper.
