Lets see those fog lamps
Stop me if someone's done this before. I was looking to get some foglights for my second gen and I just wanted to see what other people have done. So far i hear you can get a pair that fit real nice next to the license plate from pep boys for cheap. You guys got a toyota switch, used a switch that came with it or a remote? Other generations welcome to post also. Ideas can come from anywhere.

I have the same size piaa lights (1400x) and I have been struggling with finding a way to mount them. How did you go about it?

bamachem,
How do you have the Hella's mounted? I noticed that you don't have them drilled straight through the bumper. I'd like to get a set and mount them in a similar fashion.

This is from a long ways away zoomed in. They are just cheap fog/driving lights (Hella Optilux 20/20). So they are two sets of lights in one housing and I can toggle between driving and fog, kind of like a hi-beam/low-beam. But they're cool! I like the fog lights the most. I would have spread mine further apart, but the bumper has plastic "supports" in the way. I could have sawed them, but I decided not to cut stuff up. They're mounted directly to the bumper. Man, do the Tacomas ever come with a piece of crap stock bumper. there's no support there!! Seriously, the only metal is beneath the narrow lower piece that the lights are attached to and it's only a few inches longer across as the narrow piece itself. I want an ARB....

Whenever I turn mine on at night and drive I just know (looking at the light pattern at the edges) that the fogs are rattling every which way.
They're bolted to the valence/bumper thing just fine but that's not very steady, is it?

PS - will some people check out my own thread about where to mount off-road lights too? I hate to steal from this thread, but I felt that the topics were slightly different...... It's a different vehicle anyway

PS - I guess in my mind, the bumper is only the metal part, the rest is plastic attachment.
