    Passenger side fog lamp took a direct hit to the lens and shattered. I really like the OEM fog lamp light pattern so I am looking at factory replacements and there seems to be a lot out there to choose from. So anyone replaced factory with one of the aftermarket direct replacements and were equally satisfied with the light dispersion?? I like this price but I could probably call up a wrecking yard too.

    I would be careful with those cheap versions, all you need is the new glass housings right?

    I know you said you like the OEM beam pattern, but I'd highly recommend the Morimoto XB replacement fogs. I have them in my 2014 and truly believe the beam pattern is even better than the OEM's that I took out. (And I'm super picky about lighting.) As an added bonus, I'd be willing to bet that you can snag a pair for less than you'd pay for a single factory replacement.

    I'd try to hunt down an OEM set if you're going for the factory look. I've had a few aftermarket sets that were complete crap.

    Let's see then. Toyota Part #81210-08020 - Fog Lamp Assembly - $152.90 each. You might be able to buy one of those cheap knock off E-Bay specials for $25.00, but not a factory / OEM part. A pair of Morimoto XB's will run you less than $200.00 and you get a 10 year warranty with them.

    Actually Unchained pointed me to a seller of a used OEM take off in good condition that hit the price point of those knock offs which helped me out. Appreciate the lead those on those lights- had not seen them before.
