98 Avalon Aftermarket XL Fog Lights

I'm wanting to install aftermarket fog lights to my XL. I've found the following fog light assembly, and want to know if anyone has had any experience with these and if they're of good quality.

Also does the necessary wiring and on/off switch come with the assembly?

Fog Light Assembly includes Lens, Socket, Housing, and Bulbs
So I would suspect that there is no included wiring or switches.

I would recommend wiring them up to your marker lights via a relay.This way you do not have to run any wiring to your console, and you still have marginal control of them. IE: they're always on with headlights(giving you those cool extra style points!), and if you need the headlights off and the fog lights on, you just turn on your marker lights.

I don't think any can comment on the quality, as they do not even list the manufacturer, (BALKLAMP, TYC, etc..)

It seems expensive, but after some research thats the ballpark figgure for two lights. though I found them new from TYC/TW for 70 a lamp. Being a little cheaper than your link.

I see a used set on ebay for $80. I mean, your cars a 98, the headlights qualify as used condition after that long, right?

Thank you. That was my suspicion and reason for posting this thread. Its contents list everything, but the wiring and switches. I'd never considered hooking it up with my marker lights, and may just end up going that route. Thanks again for your insight!
