05 camry fog lamp kit ??

Hi,

I'd like to install a fog lamp on my 05 camry and I found on ebay with several different kit.

I found the 2 kits with different price and I attached a link to see if anybody had experience with those kit, please give me an advice.

This kit sold for almost a $95

Where as, this is only sold for almost half a price $45:

I know you get what you pay for but they look the same too me and both are not OEM, Just wondering how's the quality of those fog lamp kit.

Thank you for all inputs.

Both of the lights that you posted are junk.

The reflector housings in both of the lens assemblies are badly distorted and don't even line up with the housings properly. The second one doesn't even have the bulbs covered with a reflector, which would surely piss of oncoming motorists.

I'd pass on both of them.

You should be able to find better ones in the $60-$70 range on eBay. I have, but the quality still isn't very good. I will be switching to OEM lamps.

Thank you for your response,

I've been looking on ebay and the $45 kit fog lamp is the most popular on ebay for an 05 camry.

I've seen somebody sold used OEM with only 1 side for $75. I'd have bought it if they've got both sides.

with my 05 camry, I have to cut the whole for the fog since the org bumper does not have a knock out and I'm still thinking how I am going to mount them w/o mounting studs on the bumper.

Thanks again,
