Part #s for Fog Light install? Can anyone who works for Toyota confirm? - Page 4 - Toyota Yaris Forums

IsLNdbOi · 01-27-2010, 11:48 AM

Got the fog light kit yesterday and I'm not happy with it. On my '07 LB, each fog light mounting hole / spot had two slits where the tabs on each fog light would slide into while the other side would be screwed in.

So, the fog lights for the '07 would have two tabs on each side. On my '09 5-door LB, each fog light mounting hole / spot has one slit where a tab on each fog light should go. The fog lights that came with this kit has two tabs on each side just like the ones for the '07 / '08 LB. For them to fit properly, they should have only one tab on each side. The tab on one side would insert into the slit on the mounting hole and the tab on the opposite side would be screwed into the screw hole on the mounting hole. So, once I installed these fog lights there was a noticeable gap b/w the lights and the bumper. Also, the top edge of the fog bezels pop out a little bit so there's a slight gap b/w the top edge of the bezels and the bumper. I already checked and all the tabs are pushed all the way in, securing the bezels. I don't recommend this kit.

I believe the gap is common to all, not just the 2009 and up.

The tiny gap is probably so that the heat from the foglamp glass doesn't melt the bezel plastic..

As for the tiny gap on the top edge of the bezel and the bumper, that's normal. I have genuine '09 bezels and they too leave a tiny gap.

I don't remember there being gaps like this on my '07 LB. Here are some quick pics. I took:

thanks... kit price is excellent for the wires and covers, but I like the oem stalk (its only $90 online!) and my own lights (visionx solstice LEDs).

My genuine Toyota ones fit properly around the outside, but have the same gap around the lens (which may be intentional to avoid melting the plastic).

Where can i get some genuine ones. are they expensive? Only the bezel.

Read above in the thread for the part numbers. They are about $26 each from your local dealer.

I got the MI kit for my '09 and had them professionally installed. There is the slight gap right above the fog light bezel on each light.

i did everything in the directions and it wont seem to turn on :( when i look at where the connector plugs into there doesnt seem to be anything that even plugs into the yellow wire so could something be wrong? or could i just buy the oem switch and ill have nothing to worry about?
