Ok i have a 2003 camry LE, But it doesnt have OEM Fogs. In their place on the bumper there is a plastic indentation for them.
Where can i get those OEM Fog lights that i see on the SE camry's? Do i need a different bumper or can i cut out the holes and mount OEM Fogs from a SE?
Is your car Japan or USA built? Mine is an LE that didn't come with fog lights, and I installed them. Check to see if those pieces in the bumper can move around. If yes, they pop right out and reveal wire harnesses. If not, then you're going to have to cut them out and put in mounting hardware for the fogs. Also, if the holes don't pop out, then the car isn't pre-wired (you won't have the hanging harnesses) so you'll have to wire the whole fog light system to an aftermarket switch. Also, if the wires aren't there, then you probably don't have the OEM fog light relay, either. If the harnesses are there, then you need to order a new turn signal stalk from toyota that has a fog light switch ring built in. Total cost for me: $129 for the fogs on ebay, $100 for the turn signal stalk.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
Cool thanks, And no those bumper peices do not pop out at all. So i guess i can cut them. If i order the OEM fogs off ebay, can i just wire them to a switch i control. Or do i need the Turn Signal Stalk?
Yeah, you can wire them to a switch. They actually come with one that fits right into those little squares on the left side of the dash by the steering wheel. They pop out and you can pop the switch into there. If you get fogs off of ebay, you they should come with all the wires, the relay, the switch, and the mounting hardware which you would need if you cut the holes, which I guess you have to. My covers just popped right out, and my fogs just mounted right in there.

Right, of course. It'll say if it comes with everything.
drunken_panda, no they're actually pretty good. They're "OEM Style" but they look exactly like OEM ones. I've parked next to an SE before and compared, and I couldn't tell the difference. And as far as fit, it snapped right in and fit perfectly. Mine are ebay ones.

For that, you'd have to ask someone that cut it out. I haven't actually done it, nor do I have any experience in any real body work... they popped out for me, so I didn't have the whole cutting issue. Haha.

HM.. i was thinkin bout getting those fogs too but cant you just attach it to the light switch? so when you turn on your lights the fogs will go off too?

Technically you can... you would just splice it in... but people recommend against it because (1) its not good to splice together wires that run such high current as headlights and fog lights.. and (2) you no longer have control over your fog lights because there is no switch.

^^ He is right. you can get the fogs, but either get a new turn signal stalk, or wire it to a new switch. The Headlights are 55w each. thats 110watts total and they run off of 12v, so divide 110w by 12v and you get 9.16Amps. Thats ALOT of current. the fogs themselves take almost 110w. so running 20A off the same wire is a
Just get a sepereate switch and wire it to one of the pop-outs next to the fuse box panel.
