fog lights ! :] - Toyota Yaris Forums

If these are the ones put out by Vertex Racing -- it's a PITA to install them.
The pics from your eBay link sure look like the kit I bought.

I just installed these on my car, here were the problems.
Remember this is for the VERTEX RACING fogs:

1. Absolutely no instructions provided.
2. No provision for a fuse provided.
3. black plastic housing is a crappy fit with separation areas from the bumper.
4. Switch does NOT fit OEM cutout (under the e-brake), had to custom cut my own hole.
5. No way to wire so the switch only illuminates when the fogs are on, my switch illumination is always-on.

The good news, nice and BRIGHT, great price, look fine from a distance.

I used ILLUMINICS 2500k JDM yellow bulbs -- nice bright yellow fogs!

I'll post some pics later.

The 4 holes each have different notches so teh switch can ONLY fit the right rear hole. The other holes can be used with minor modifications.
