Nice write-up, I was on the fence about these fog lights because I didn't want to have to do any trimming or modifications for my 2012 limited. Do you have any pics to share?Ordered 7/5, shipped Monday, 7/7 (with tracking info), received Wednesday, 7/9, installed today.
I can confirm that no trimming or mods are required to install on a 2012 SR5. NO removal of bump was required :becky:
Tools required - 1/4" drive ratchet, extension, 10mm socket, stubby Phillips screw driver (#2)
To replace right fog light, turn wheel to the right, remove three vertical screws that fasten inner fender liner to bumper cover, remove bottom two screws and access panel (5 screws). Pull fender liner back behind front inner edge of tire, that will hold liner out of your way (at least that's how it worked with my 285 Nitto's). Now reach in and release harness from bulb, remove single Phillips screw from upper right fog light bracket (be carefully not to allow light assembly to fall), remove OEM fog light by sliding assembly to the right until left tabs slide out of slots.
Factory fog light plug, white wire is positive (+), white/black is negative (-), insert fog light male tabs into provided plug end aligning red to white, black to white/black wires, push weather boots into end of plug to prevent moisture from entering plug. Plug fog light into factory harness, turn on headlights to verify new fog light illuminates :reddance:
Installation, align two left fog light tabs with slots in bumper (slide to the left), install single Phillips screw, reattach fender liner.
Repeat process for left fog light. Once complete, align both fog lights to factory specs using Phillips adjusting screw on the bottom of each light housing (counter clockwise = down, clockwise = up), reinstall lower access panel, time to enjoy better quality lights!
how about an option for a selective-yellow lens?

seems a shame to spray or put a film on these, but 5000K seems pretty like a pretty cool color temp for fogs...i wounder how it would do with some yellow tint spray or film
Have yet to drive at night to see what lighting is like,
Have yet to drive at night to see what lighting is like, but obviously the color is different from the factory halogens and match my HID's better.
Looks great! :thumb:
Have you driven with them at night yet? Are they visibly brighter than stock
fog lamps? What about the beam pattern?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
i'd be all over this with a yellow lens option. the output and install looks super clean, but i really prefer yellow for fog.

i think they just added that? if so thanks [MENTION=111628]TRSAndrew[/MENTION] for listening to the feedback. a true selective yellow lens, not a film, would be preferable, though. i've tried Lamin-X before and wasn't satisfied with the sallow output they provided, even with "warmer" halogen bulbs. it'll be paler/worse with 5000K LEDs behind it.They do have a yellow LaminX option.
i can certainly add my name to the list to help drum up interest but i don't plan to actually pull the trigger as they're currently offered. the output is super crisp but the color is just not my preference and not as functional for fog.[MENTION=109752]
I am, and I think most people are looking for the 20% reduction on price as well....
If you are interested, please add your name to the list (it's alot easier that way) and lets see if we get 20 peeps!
Much appreciated!
