another $15 gets you fog lights as well.

The link to the kit you posted is only bezel/wires/accessories

Fang · 05-27-2015, 12:59 PM

i really don't want the winjet kit, seen too many reviews saying poor quality of fog lens, breaking early... etc.. the link that i gave seems to tap into the oem wiring/relay

Does that kit include the rotating dimmer switch for them, too? I don't think I see it pictured in their photos. It's easy to find the switch plate, but the dimmer dial seems to be unobtanium.

FRSToyota86 · 05-27-2015, 01:16 PM

I tried it. The bezels wont fit correctly. You would still need to order the OEM bezels.

I bought my Valeo fog lights from Nigel, because racing bee only had the fog lights with halo which i didnt care for.

Other than that my favorite part is that its almost Oem in the way the of the fog light switch and the harness.... No dimmer switch.

At last good costumer service.

Hope this helps.

dammit, i just pulled the trigger on their ebay page. i'll cross my fingers on the bezels. the one i purchased didn't have halo

The BRZ has the rotating dial on the steering stalk, right?

yup. i didn't want to deal with ripping apart the steering wheel/column and messing with the airbag, so i was just looking for a kit that had the switch.

I just installed the racingbee kit, but I'm having a really weird issue - when i turn on the headlights and turn on the fog light switch, the fog lights light up as normal, but then a few seconds later they turn off on their own, then a few seconds later turn back on and repeat...

Here's a video of what I'm talking about:

You can see the fog light indicator on the dash turns on and off with the lights. It's almost like it's on some kind of cycle, since you see in the video when I turned the switch off then back on, and it didn't light up until a few seconds later.

Any ideas what this could be? I'm stumped...

I'm using 55w nokya hyper yellow H11 bulbs - I don't think that would be the issue but just wanted to mention that.

Euro7R · 06-13-2015, 12:00 AM

Are you guys trying to convert OEM PSX24W to H11?

I still believe its' easier to get PSX24W fogs and not do a cable conversion. Just plug fog in and good to go. Personally I am running PSX24W led fogs on stock housing for my BRZ, super bright and doesn't run hot ever due to the heat sink the led fogs utilizes to disperse heat.

That's exactly what happened to me with this same exact kit. Couldn't figure out the issue for the life of me and just returned the kit.

ahquit · 06-13-2015, 10:22 AM

I just tried changing the switch to the one that came with the nigel jdm kit and it's still did the same thing (cycling on and off). So I guess that's not he issue.

FRSToyota86 - seems like you were able to install this kit without issue?

Hot Toys · 06-15-2015, 10:34 AM

I installed one for my friend's FRS and it seem to work for me NP, but I had to change the pin around to make it work. here is the picture of the wiring. also I added washer at the back of the lamp to make it fitting better.[ATTACH]112 Name: 55-frs-fog.jpg
