    Another option are the F-Sport LED Fogs

    Part numbers: 81220-30380, 81210-30430

    They are also plug and play and bright as hell

    Please take some detailed photos of these when they arrive! I want to know if they look OEM or not (silver above and below the chrome reflector or black).

    I'd be really curious to see some shots of the two Lexus lights vs the Rigid Pro and DOT D series. I'm in the process of deciding what I want to replace my fogs with.

    I'll try to post pics of my Lexus fogs. I'll say this about them: The appearance to oncoming traffic is quite understated because they have a very tight cut-off. They shine wide out and low to the ground, as fog lights should. Because of the tight cut off they do not appear very bright and don't command much attention from oncoming traffic. In fact, the stock LED DRL's are more visible from a distance, unless you happen to be within the fog lights' low beam pattern.

    Personally I hate the D-bags on the road with cheap LED lights that are too bright and have poor beam patterns. I really love the appearance of the Lexus fogs. And they're functional. But if your goal is to "be seen" with your LED fogs, these may not be the lights for you.

    Good to know! I will agree with you when it comes to people running cheap LED lights that scatter light all of the place. I hate that! For me its not so much being "seen" as it is distance of output, width of output and amount of usable light. The one thing I like about the DOT Rigids is the ability to snap on and off different covers. I run the DOT Rigids on my R1200GSA as aux lights and alternate between amber covers and no covers depending on road conditions. Its nice to be able to tone down the color temp if it's foggy or raining out. They have great light output but its hard to compare that output since they are mounted up high on the "crashbars" as opposed to them being down low on a Taco.

    Everything I have seen about the Lexus fogs has been pretty impressive but their cost is very similar to a DOT kit. It'd be hard to spend that coin on them if better results could be had with the DOT's.

    Not as clean a cut off but not bad.

    3rd photo is the stock with LED bulb on the left and new one on the right.

    hard to tell. if you look at the output photos above, the stock housing with the LED bulb definitely is brighter but there is some glare. These do not seem quite as bright (color match is spot on) but the cut off is better. I really won't know until fall when i do a lot more night driving. I'd be curious if the legit Toyota ones have any better output. Can't beat $60 though.
