Well where should I start...
The housings WILL melt and the glass cracks really easy and it falls off. I'd say just spend the $300 at Toyota and be safe Good Luck! |

it did happen to him. Id say he only had the fogs on the sedan for about three months. First thing that happened was a rock or something hit one of them and it cracked. then he took the bumper off to install a chrome grill on the sedan and thats when we seen that the housings had actually melted. idk where he got them but he got cheaper ones to save money. well we wont be doing that again.

Were the bulbs replaced with higher wattage bulbs in those foglights?
What wattage bulbs did it come with? You have an opportunity here to share information that will help everyone. "they melted" is not enough for the rest of us to know what to do. A rock hitting the glass would probably crack a Toyota foglight, too. Not sure that's a very fair complaint against any particular brand.

IDK if it was a rock or not I wouldnt know that is her thinking that, as to the melted housing the bulb was not replaced and this was installed by a local auto shop so I have no clue what bulb they used. No complaints, just telling my expirience with the fogs
