WHere would be the best place to put circular fog lights on a 3rd gen camry?

Thanks,
Calvin

No where. I have come to the conclusion that there is no good place on the gen 3's to put any sort of foglight

...sucks to be us.

i was thinking of getting the PIAA solitaire's, they're like an inch and a half tall and like 3 inches wide and fits nicely in the side vent holes at the bottom of hte bumper. only thing is, it comes wiht a 35watt bulb and i don't know if the housing can sustain the heat from a 55 watt bulb.

my other idea was to mount it behind the grill next to the headlights cuz in my state, aux lights have to be 22 inches off the ground but i rather not since that blocks some of the air for the radiator plus i dunno how badly the grill would effect the light coming out

You could do them in place of the grill, like so:

Well, I am VERY happy with my new foglights, Hella Micro DE, installed today. They are 55w and compliment the stock headlights very well. In fact they make the headlights look yellowish and they dramatically improve the lighting in front of the car. I would call them accessory lights more than foglights.

The kit was awesome, and the lights themselves are cast magnesium.

I drilled through the bumper, a little lip behind the fascia, and they are solid. One of the nicest, easiest foglight installations of many I have done.

Sorry for the lame pic, I will have better ones tomorrow.

how much was the kit and where did you get them? they look nice. maybe you could get a shot of it turned on at nite and maybe comparison shots like hella's only, low beams only, hella's and low beams together or something u kno? hehe

Kit is not cheap but it's a first rate deal. I paid $129 locally but you can find it on ebay for less sometimes. I got mine from Auto Sport Gallery in Raleigh. I will post more pics soon!

Get the Raybrig R700 FOG. They are the brightest fog lights out there, not including HID's. That's what I have. It comes in yellow, white, and blue. They also have the Raybrig R1000 FOG, which is dual FOG and DRIVING, comes in yellow and blue. Blue sucks, that's so rice. But yellow is very good.

The fog lights on the white Beretta are the lights. Now I have them on my Gen5.

how's the reputation of that site you linked to, auto speedy?

Daffunda · 10-03-2003, 08:06 PM

I don't know. I got mine when I went back to Japan. But those are the lights I got, and it fits perfectly into the front of the Gen5. They also make HID versions also.

Good luck finding a place for round lights on a Cam. I've got rectangular OEM-lookalike Pilot 1055C driving lights, they fit nicely in the lower front grill between the "fins." Nice complement to my Silverstars, too.

I've been considering getting rectangular-type foglights (with rounded edges)...sorta like the Raybrig's that Daffunda has, but in white/clear/blue. I figure they might look ok in the lower front grill. But I have a 93 Camry, so no fins...just a gaping hole :p

Anyone know of a decent brand of foglights that I can get? By decent I mean well-priced and durable, so it won't break if a pebble hits it (gotta finda way of preventing that).

btw, I live in GTA (Canada)

thx
