I think the same fog lights for the Camry/yaris/rolla will fit, but it is the fog light housing that is different. I still haven't see any aftermarket foglight housings like you see for the yaris/camry/rolla etc.......

regarding the wiring. I think the stock wiring IS there but you still need the relay and the switch/stalk.

Hopefully someone will come out with aftermarket fog light kit for the base model soon.

Nice find amigo, so it looks like they are available now, sweet. Still a bit expensive if you ask me, and by the look of the kit it would mean running the new wiring and switch that comes with the kit.

I just bought a set of those ebay fog lights for my base trix. Not sure yet if I will use the stock wiring and figure out a relay and switch, or use the harness and switch that comes with the kit.

I installed my fogs 99% of the way complete this morning. I left my multimeter at work so have not yet tapped into an accessory 12v power source. The harness, fogs and switch are all in place waiting for power

I will create a more in-depth thread of my own with more pictures and tips when I get the power hooked up, and it's complete.

The ebay kit came with OEM Toyota fog light shrouds, and then an aftermatket set of fogs w/harness.

wow great, can't wait for the tutorial lol. and i just realized that they're JDM style LOL.. the Canadian toyota website has a picture of oem fogs on the base. looks different than these ebay ones.. OEMs have those lines across while JDM ones are smooth.

Guys pretty sure they are OEM, They came in Toyota bags with the Toyota part numbers on them? I was pleasantly suprised when I opened the box.

Same Part numbers and look the same as this guys oem install:
