Fog light faaaaail.... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

MJZ · 04-15-2010, 04:56 PM

One of my Ebay foglights developed condensation on the inside, and now has mold/mildew and is yellow. Freaking waste of $60. ARG.

Question - is this due to the poor weather sealing on the bulb or poor plastic housing?

Any chance this is NOT due to crappy Ebay product failure?

What to do now ....

Maybe about a month?

We've had flooding here in New England as many are aware, so the problem was only developed in the last few days.

ebay fogs quality sucks, you should know better.

Just buy the OEM fog housing and use the ebay wiring.

You're just one of the lucky ones.

But your bulbs didn't last long.

The solution is simple: stop skimping out by buying a completely stock "CE" or "LE" Camry to begin with.

Then you won't have to add all of these features as aftermarket, failing Chinese components.

That's preventative, not a solution.

For some people, buying a CE or LE is not skimping, but its all that they could afford.

Now that is funny. Dear how much did that turbo mod and wheeeeeeellsss and alllll cost you? Your car was probballyyyy almost 1/3 more in mods than mine from factory. (love that car).

An you are right sir, but you know the simple things like fogs are cheaper off the getgo getting standard.

I sure understand if they are getting it second hand though. But I am very put off with anything ebay Chinese for such.

Need OEM for most.

**PRINCESS PEACH** · 04-15-2010, 07:08 PM

just get some foggies from the factory or a reputable brand. i've had mine and its fine for over 2 yrs.

my parents bought me the camry on a strict budget due to my scholarship to college, and I funded all the mods myself.
