If you're getting them for looks go for it.

You already have HIDs, I say don't waste the money on it, as you can already see the road pretty damned well.

EDIT: And not all of the "JDM" fogs have the yellow lenses.

just use the fogs when it is dusk. that way you can have your parking lights on and your fogs. Then just turn them off when you turn your headlights on. Or just get hid Fog lights

are you going to get REAL jdm fogs or the knockoff ones like me?

you already have HID's so not like these fogs are going to do anything except light the road right underneath them.

for me just having jdm bulbs, the foglights work fking wonders! but if you want just for looks dont waste your money...save it and buy something else of more use to you

This sounds like a 'ricer' question.

"Will 'this' look good with 'that'?"

And why only mention JDM? Ya know JDM gives 50hp!

JDM isn't worth getting more or less than any other aftermarket fog light, or even OEM.


JDM means you spent more than you should have in this case.
And do what you want to your car, not what HT picks for you.

That all depends on his reasons for them.... This one does seem to belong there though.

I got mine because I've hated not being able to actually see when its foggy. Sucks..... so i got the DEPO oem copies. Works fine for me.

Lat I heard, fog lights were to help you see in the fog, not to look cool.

White light bounces off of fog
Yellow light cuts through it

Who cares what you last heard or seen. The fog lights don't always have to be

used for fog. I turn my fog lights on everytime I drive, it looks nice and I get

compliments daly. So who cares if there not always used for what they need to be

used for!

BTW to the poster, get them. Lexus has HID's with fogs (yellow) and IMO they

look great.

Why do you need foglights in Woodbridge? Is it ever foggy in Virginia? I live over the mountains and it still doesn't ever get foggy.

Yes, It can get foggy here. I leave for work early sometimes and it can be really foggy. At the moment it isnt, but fall time it def. can.
