    Need some fogs for my 2014 SR. It didn't come with them and it bothers me.

    Who here is a vendor that carries OEM, or OEM style replacements WITH the factory switch?
    I've found the company Spyder and found an OEM replacement kit on Ebay for $79 + $10 shipping. This is their SKU 5075116

    I've been researching hard at work today, that's the beauty of IT when your system is behaving properly :) I'd rather buy from someone here if possible. Trying to keep options under $150 unless getting projectors, HID, or LED.

    Well most people mount their fogs on their truck, they don't carry them!

    I feel your pain of page 2 Google. It's a scary place.

    I've been on here a lot and haven't seen many people adding OEM fogs. Usually it's them upgrading. I think your best bet is to go with what you found.

    I don't doubt that those are amazing and very good lights. But I can get The Spyder LED Fogs for around $110-120 and I know those come with wiring and near factory-look switch, and their regular fogs for what I posted in my OP.

    I know, I know... I'm a Tacoma owner who's a cheapskate lol.

    Hey Nick,

    KC HiLiTES offers an OEM fog light replacement as well. I know you mentioned you are trying to keep it under $150 unless going with LEDs, and while ours are more than your listed budget ours are LED. I included links to the light below. The is the Gravity LED G4 fog light kit for the 2012-2015 Tacomas and they come with a 23 year warranty and free shipping. The data sheet has nearly all of the light specs that you may want, and the link for that is also below. These are SAE street legal, and are offered in both clear or amber options. You would still need a wiring harness, with the factory switch, and likely the bezels as well. I have done some research for you on here and it appears to be a fairly intensive process to add fogs onto a Tacoma that didn't come with them from the factory, but certainly do-able. I have also included some links to threads below that may help you on this project! You can always mix-and-match, meaning purchase one of the kits from Amazon that includes the wiring necessities, and then use our LED fog lights instead of those included with the kit for a much higher quality product. If you're still looking for a fog light solution, feel free to contact me via PM and I'll help you out on the price from us!

    i bought a cheap set off ebay for about $65 that came with the switch and harness since my PreRunner didnt come with even the wiring. I decided recently to upgrade to TRS fog lights, but have not installed them yet. The upgrades do not come with the harnesses or switch, so get a cheap starter kit then buy the better projectors/lights from TRS.

    Right. I need the wiring, switches, and relays.
    I've found a good kit, for now anyway. I'd rather have 'even' lighting from my headlights and fogs. Don't want to mix a different type of fog bulb with my Silverstar Ultra halogens, won't look good to me if they're much different

    consistency is never a bad thing, which is why i havent installed my LED fogs until I finish my retrofitted HIDs.

    But, how do the ebay kits hold up to moisture? So far, in this thread, I know of 2 people who have used it lol

    So far no issues. Housing is completely enclosed and don't plan on opening them up. The TRS LED versions come with their own enclosures.
