Your correct, the H3 HID bulb won't fit into the factory fog. You can use the H3C in the factory fog. The only reason I replaced my fogs with the Hellas was because they weren't in very good shape.

Thanks pfdaxe, that´s exactly it what I´ve search the whole evening!

Could you tell what´s the accurate mark/model of the HID kit what you used?

for foglights, i wouldn't settle for anything less than a little pair of these:

j/k, can't help myself not posting it.

i am going through the same with my wife's 01 sport.
I stripped the bolts on the passenger assembly and thought i had the assmbly tightened well enough and it fell off the damn rig as we were driving.

The drivers side burnt out and i stripped the g-damn screws on that too.

So i think replacing the entire assembly is in order. What will work the best? I am sure teh remaining bolts, just like any other toyota bolt that is rusted, will break.

I paid $110 on e-bay for these and they installed quickly and replaced the old ones quickly.

I might just have to get those Micro De's.. Has anyone tried any of the round/oval Optilux series lights by Hella. I want something that I can later add some HIDs, so I dunno if they'll work. They are smaller and seem to be cheaper than those Micro De's.
