Default Foglight help!

Okay. So I have been looking around for a driver side fog light(rectangle ones) for my 1996 es300. I haven't seen any in junk yards, ebay, or anywhere. But I have seen plenty of the older ones(circle ones). But i dnt know which is I should get. Which one looks better or would be a better choice? Helpp?

If you guys are selling any driver sidefog lights, please emaiil me. Or if you find any site that sells them, post them up. Thank you.

My preference is the circle since they are projector style. I changed my square ones to circle ones when I was changing things on my car. It looked a lot better IMO since we already have dual projector headlights

Yes. You can use the original 96 grill if you want. I personally think it looks better with the 96 grill as opposed to the "fitted" version of the earlier years

^^Tip for you, when you put in a yellow bulb for the squares, it will not look as good as using the projectors (too artificial even with PIAAs). Reason being, the projector bulbs are tinted dark yellow so they will look a deeper yellow if you use yellow bulbs

Ebay is your friend for these. They're getting hard to find now for a cheap price...

Yeah, 2ES's have them. Its just the 2.5ES got the short end of the stick for lighting and got the stupid square reflectors

They're already yellow as stated above bud
