motorblvd (seller) is best. and ebay are way better than OEM, the harness is even better. granted there are 3 different harnesses i've seen out there with the ebay kits, the motorblvd is the easiest one to install.
I said I don't want a title!

How are you basing this opinion? The OEM fogs fit great, plug in like they should and are of decent quality. The only drawback is the lens cracking, but mine have not yet done this and the ebay fogs are just as likey to have this happen.

i am basing my opinion on other people's opinions. many people i know don't like the fact that the OEM fogs will only turn on with the headlights. the ebay kits allow the fogs to be turned on with the parking lights only. also, the OEM fogs will not turn on when you activate high beams. the ebay fogs allow you to do this also. yes OEM fits great, but so do the ebay kits.

Having the OEM fogs turn on with parking lights is an easy and documented fix. Also, note that it is illegal to run foglights with your high-beams on.

Because it is in some states. This is why OEMs turn off when the high-beams are switched on.
Why does one need foglights when the high beams are switched on anyways? The entire idea of 'foglights' are that they aid when driving in the fog; therefore, they should be aimed and positioned accordingly.
This mod is equivalent to the 'fast turn signal' mod. Serves no purpose.

ok its in some states.... but WHY?????
So, just because something is not needed, it automatically becomes illegal? Thats just stupid. I dont think anyone needs a lecture on lighting positions. I just want to know why its illegal.
I dont see a reasonable or logical explanation to why it should be illegal. Having your fogs while your high beams is not going to hurt anyone. If your high beams are on, then there should be no oncoming traffic anyway.
I just dont understand the law's logic.
