You get what you pay for.

Common problems with ebay foglights

1. wiring is different
2. plastic fades easily
3. fitment and flushness

go with ebay. i have them; they're just as good as OEM. only thing you'll need to do is change the bulbs when you get the ones from ebay. they tend to burn out after a few runs because the seller usually handles the bulbs with their hands (which have skin oil)

if the black part fades, use trim paint to paint it black again, . i doubt the clear plastic would fade, if it hazes, you can sand it down and make it clear again.

Clear produces better lighting, than yellow. Plus, not everyone is into the whole "JDM yellow" scene.

yep, why not just get some amber bulbs and put them in, that'd do the trick IMO. i dont have oem fogs, but i've contemplated the idea...

i got the clear fog lights from ebay and they look nice as hell. they came with h11 bulb. the only thing was that i didnt want to mess with the wiring cause it look to hard for me to do so i had to look around and find some1 to put them on and no1 wanted no less then 285 to put them on so if you think you can put them on yourself then do it, if not try to find someone to do it for less.all they did was connect them to my turn signals. it look nice like that.
