Fog/Driving lights
I just picked up a wiring harness off ebay. I want to find light to put into the cutouts on the bumper of my '01. Any ideas? I've heard the horror stories about the Hellas rusting out. Is ther another option? I want a clean factory look.

I am in the process of getting a *free* new hella fog kit (mine are corroded) from hella. They gave me the schematics of the little mod to fix the problem. They actually researched it and fixed it, but Toyota didn't think it was important enough to do so it never saw any kind of use. I plan on making one though and having a leak-free hella fog kit. I might even put in some of those hot IS300 yellow lenses if I can find some. That would be cool!

They wouldn't do that for me?
Inquiring minds want to know.

I will most likely put some PIAAs in later. But I'm not spending any more money on this truck for a while.
Good luck

The metal deflector (fix) that we offer will stop the problem from reoccurring. All this fix does, is block all road debris and contaminated water that is thrown from the tire. By stopping the water and road debris from hitting the lamp, you will ultimately stop the lamps from corroding. One problem... since Toyota didn't want to buy the "fix" from us, we never mass produced the part. Therefore, we do not have any of these lying
around. You will have to fabricate something yourself, or have someone you know do it. Honestly, it shouldn't be to tough.
