    I've been looking on the forums and saw a few links for upgraded fog lamps. Toyota wants about $130, but was hoping to get a new LED set for less. I know I just need the whole LH part but figure I can just replace the bulb with a brighter LED. Or upgrade to a different style that will fit. Doing the work isn't really an issue, but I guess I need a good place to start looking. I've checked ebay, some are pretty sweet (dual fog/hi-beams), others are just OEM replacements. Anything I should stay away from when buying these?

    Oh yea. Saw a mention of power folding side mirrors. That'd be nice! Thanks in advance!

    I've got the fog lights installed already, I just need to swap them out with better. Are these plug-n-play in the same cut outs as the OEM fog lights?

    Toyota wants $184+tax for the 'driving light'. Ebay wants less than $50 for a pair. And the grill with the cut outs is $85+tax (Toyota).

    The lenses are heavy, thick glass, much more resistant to pitting and scratches than the plastic lenses common on inexpensive foglights.

    Let us know how they are, since it seems that Cheizy isn't selling them anymore.

    It looks like the price went up since I linked to them in Ebay.

    I would also suggest a film protection on the fogs. I've had mine for 4yrs and no damage on the glass at all. Just recently the film has discolored but I can polish it out and its good as new or replace it.

    It'd be very hard to get a film on the projector lenses. They're very convex.

    Nope. Lens shape is totally different on a projector light. Projector type is on the right:
