Clean (oem looking) 3rd gen fog/driving lights?

Seeing cars with aftermarket fog/driving lights bothers me. I dont like the standard oval kind that I have seen on TN. I don't think they look that bad, or are ricey, but I would prefer an OEM look.



My boss has a newer Subaru Legacy GT.. It has a very simular style front end to a 3rd gen Camry, but the fogs are about twice as tall. I got one from a friend at a dealer that was damaged in an accident, but it would require too much modding to ever get to fit, and it would look like crap. That is the style I am looking for though. Something that sits on the outer vent hole things, and possibly fill it, or have a stock style.


Sorry for picking on ya Heny, I love the car, but I don't like the fog placement. Maybe I could clear out the blue (smurf) out of the reflectors and mount those on the side.

Any ideas? Anyone have side vent mounted fogs?

there really isn't much room in the sides, plus its your air intake for your airbox

OEM fog lights from 5th Gen Celicas are a pretty damn close fit for the outer air vents on the Gen3 bumper... Give it a shot. Or even early-S14 240sx OEM fogs... they are a close shape. I feel the same way you do about fog lights. If they dont look OEM, I wont rock em.

No prob on the pic....

Actually, I've seen plenty of just stock Camry's with oval Walmart lights on the outer vents....doesn't look right at all. I just think that if they're going to sit on the outer vents, it better be OEM and fill up the whole vent section.

I stuck them in the middle because there were already two holes in there that I could use and I just thought it looked better than the outside...after all, they're pretty much just for looks....:o

If you only use fogs just for looks, come up to Vermont where the temperature ranges from 60 digrees last night to 95 digrees this morning. We get heavy snow, and fog. I had fog's on my last car after almost hitting a guardrail because I couldn't see if I was on the road, in a field, etc.
