I would like foglights on my car. With spring here, every morning for the next two months is going to be soupy. 1992 with stock bumper. What is a good brand and type to get, and where on the bumper should they be attached.

Make sure they're yellow in colour.

How are those lamps and moisture? A guy at my school has those and they have a lot of moisture in them.

Maybe he screwed them up.

Well I have a Solara...but I installed a set of Road Boy fog lamps...I know on top of the stock fogs its a bit much...but it really does help visability. Good color...and decent price. Purchased them at a speed shop. Heres a pic of them.

That was where I was going to put in foglights, Budking, but I have to figure out how to install foglights. I don't want to mess them up

That's true. It is illegal if you are using the fog light which is not yellow colour in Toronto. Of cos except the stock fog light.

I'm not a laywer or anything. But, the last time I checked the HTA, the only restrictions applicable in this case was something to the effect of...

-only white or amber coloured light in front (except factory installed HIDs )
-no more than 4 lights in front

nowhere did it mention that fog lights MUST be yellow.

So it is illegal to have blue frobt sidemarker (turning signal) light in Toronto?

TOM'S CAMRY · 03-19-2002, 05:32 PM

Turn signal always can't blue in Toronto.
The standard colour of the signal light should be orange at the front and orange or red at the back.
I can tell u my friend just got a $110 ticket of the front red signal lights.

It's for cars in rice shows and snow trunks in the street.

Henry suggested yellow because the yellow colour in the light spectrum has the longest wavelength, which is obviously the most desireable for "functional" foglights.

I would get yellow too.

I really like the placement of your foglights as well as the foglights themselves. It is sorta' difficult to place them in our gen 3 bumpers properly since there is no actual foglight cubby-hole. Good job.

What brand/model of foglights are those?
