And if you can find one, it is around $300 a pair. Many people on the board have gone with $40 fog lights from AutoZone or Walmart. They are 4" with light blue lens. I wanted the yellow/blue coated lens similar to TRD. But, they don't come in 4". So this is what picked up from AutoZone last night. It is the Pilot, model PL-2088. It cost me $20. Since the 3" fogs are too small for the holes, I modified the stock foglight covers and used them as brackets. I used a special drill and cut a 2" pilot holes, then I used the Dremel to make the fogs fit the modified fog light covers. This took a couple of hours, but half of time, I was waiting for the damn Dremel to charge up. The stock foggies One done Finished... I will take some night shots later. The whole project cost me $20 plus 4-5 hours of work. It beats paying $300 for TRD, IMHO. Full gallery at... https://celicahobby.com/gallery/index.php/category/inst-fog-light-custom

I've done the walmart fogs, not the blue ones but the chrome housing ones. Today i installed my MTECS and they took the same bulb as stock fogs (lucky me) look hella nice!

The housing is blue rather than blue/yellow, personally i like the blue housing look. Can't wait to install em. How did you mount the fogs to the stock fog light covers? did you have to drill holes through the pilot fogs? also... did you have to remove the front bumper? or do you think it's possible to work through the stock fog light holes... one more thing... what size fuse did you use?

tony ECelica Staff 2000 Toyota Celica GT Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1,147 Los Angeles, CA	The fogs are mounted to the foglight covers with 3 small screws. I removed the front bumper. It is much easier that way. But, you can work through the stock foglight holes. My car came with stock fogs. So, I didn't change the fuse. I just connect the two wires to the stock wire harness. If you don't have stock fogs, then use the wire harness that came with the foglight kit. I believe it has a fuse built-in. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

To get through the firewall, i believe you have to remove the battery. Really BAD reality TV is the reason I stopped watching MTV.

You could probably use better materials and then apply a clear coat or other material over that, to potect it all. You could even find two thin acrylic sheets, one dark and one clear, and place your TRD vinyl sticker lettering between them. There are many ideas to make this custom piece. here is another view of that plate: and: here is another idea if you know somewhere that will do some custom metal machining for you (or find them on ebay/amazon):
