3rd Gen OEM Fogs from PP On Sale
This may belong in the deals section but since this product is only for 3rd gens (actually 99-02 only), I thought I'd post here.
PP has the OEM fogs w/ the OEM switch on sale for $99. This is the same kit I bought for my SR5 a year ago for about $200. If you have an SR5 like mine that doesn't have fogs but you want to fill those holes in your bumper, here's the ticket. I think the dealer price was about $400 when I looked last year.

I have the factory installed fog lamps. The problem is, they do nothing. I might as well duct tape my daughter's Sesame Street toy flashlight to the front.
Anyone have a solution to make these factory fog lamps into serious auxilary lights?

Yeah, the OEM fogs definately arent that bright, they do help a little, but don't expect to go dear spotting with them anytime soon. The solution, PIAA 2 8" PIAA 540s, makes anytime look like daytime.

Thank you, i was wondering when someone was going to answer that. A little off topic, are the lights burtman industries offers any brighter than oem? Or has anyone built a bracket to put aftermarket lights in the stock holes?

The nice thing about having functioning DRL's is you can reduce your low beams to DRL levels to reduce glare from your driving lights, while the fogs are on doing their "thang".

Fog lamps are meant to be mounted low, and driving lights could actually be used as fog lights. If I remember correctly fog hovers about a foot off the ground and the object of the fog lamp with it's wide flat beam is to illuminate the road surface under the fog better. Kind of like being in a buring building stay low to the ground. The lower you mount them the better. I think 95% of all the OEM fog lights that come with todays vehicles are just cosmetic. Justmy $.02

In my 00 w/o the fogs I would often just use the DRL's in foggy conditions and that seemed to work better than low beams. I would ask how you can use DRL's and fogs, on my 02 if the low beams aren't on the fogs won't come on either, even w/ the corner lights.

The ones I sell are pretty bright, brighter than the OEM hellas.
THe coolest thing with this particular kit, is it has a brain box and two remotes, so you don't have to run any wires into the cabin.
