I purchased a fog light kit for '09 / '10 LBs here:

I've installed the kit, but have found that there are gaps b/w the fog lamps and the bumper and the fog bezels and the bumper:

Do you '09 / '10 guys have these gaps as well?

Well if it counts for anything, I have a very similar kit for my 2008 Sedan and I have the exact same problem. I'm pretty sure I saw the same issue pop up in one of the tutorials as well.
I didn't think it was that big of a deal, as you need to really scrutinize the fogs to even notice that. It looks pretty near stock otherwise :wink:

I had the same problem in a set I got from Microimage. The lights themselves are great, but I ended up buying the shroud from the dealership. Fit perfectly after that.

Thats the issue with ebay fog lights. I think actually pretty much all the aftermarket fog lights for are car are made from the same place cause they all seem to have that issue no matter where you buy them from. What I did is used a dremel tool to grind down the housing a bit and a heat gun to flex and mold it to fit better. But in the end i went and bought the oem housing from the dealer. I have a 08 so slightly different than 09 but i costed me 15 dollars a piece i believe for the housing.

I don't know... I can't say, I would re-check if the fog light was install on it's proper place.

It is installed "on it's proper place". I have installed fog lights before and am very sure I installed these correctly.

At this point you might have to get original 09 bezels from Toyota.
