Default Just installed the jdm fog lamps

Just installed the jdm fog lights from NigelJDM:



Just want to to see if anyone with the '16+ model had any fitment issue as I did. Had to remove the washer reservoir to make it fit

Although I lost my washer reservoir, loving the fog lamps.

Looks great

I thought you might be able to buy a version of a Toyota/Lexus washer reservoir bottle that might fit alongside your JDM foglamps?

Looks great.
So there is no way to remove the blank covers without removing the bumpers? Seems like you may be able to access it from under the vehicle. Thanks!

Seems like whatever they use in Japan, for the washer reservoir, would also work for USA. I too was unaware that these cannot be installed without altering the washer reservoir.

Looks good though!

There's a washer reservoir that will fit. I'm sure Nigel PMed you its part number. Was there any additional parts you needed to install everything... like extra screws/bolts or wiring harness? Did you install the OEM fog light steering wheel stalk as well?

I actually tried to do it without removing the bumper and it was near impossible for me to fit a screwdriver behind there to remove the screw. If you plan on doing it just remove the whole bumper, it's a lot easier than it looks.

Nigel just pm'd me so still waiting for their response. Hopefully I'll get my washers back. As far as installing, the kit didn't come with any screws so I just used what I had laying around and it fits perfect. The kit came with a generic wiring harness and a standard push button switch. I op out of purchasing the stalks since my whole intentions was to run it with the headlight. I figure on all my cars I always have the fogs on with the headlight and never bother to switch them on or off so no switch needed. The install was straight forward only thing needed to be done was to depin the plugs for the fog on the wiring harness as the polarity on it out the box were reversed. Also it was slightly short so I had to extend the harness about 12". Everything was soldered And shrink wrapped so factory finish. No Mickeymouse here! Lol. Suck it doesn't clear the US washer reservoir. Now I gotta spend more $$$.

@nigeljdm do you have the entire kit with bulbs in your website? Also need the part number for the washer reservoir if it is different. I want to get this done on my 17 F sport and make sure I have everything I need in hand.

Default Bulbs too big?

Are the fog lighr bulbs really big and just fit behind the cover? I got the kit and they look huge. Im trying to install on a 2017 gs350.
