Lightbulb This is a POLL to show Lexus USA our opinion on "Fog Lights" for the 2014 IS F-Sport

So lets keep this simple....

Should the 2014 IS F-Sport come with Fogs here in the USA (or other affected regions) ??

Its going to be a Yes or No deal..!!!

F-Sport with Fogs (JDM Spec)







F-Sport with No Fogs (USA Spec)






Again, this is not to discuss "WHY" it doesnt have them... (We already know)..

Lets discuss why WE want them...!!!


Maybe we still have time to "fix" their decision...!!!

Thank You for voting..

And yes... as you can see history is repeating itself... (Same happened on the 2013 GS350)

The basic 2014 IS250, IS350 & IS300h will come standard with "Fog Lights" all over the World..

I don't know that I am aware of why ours don't have fog lights. Cost?

Regardless, the front end of the car looks more complete and more aggressive with the fogs. Please bring them, Lexus.

For the GS, the non F Sport bumper looks like crap

It seems they reversed it in the IS (opinion)
The F Sport bumper looks like it was curbed on both sides

Just get the regular IS and spend some of the savings on suspension mods

i can only speak of the GS. if you go from fsport, get the trim, fogs, wiring, light stalk for steering wheel, it will probably run you 500-600? and then on top the install

YES

I do wish the F sport had the fog lights, at least as an option. It's going to force me to have to wait for aftermarket ones, or throw on an LED bar-- I photoshopped one and included the LED Fog light bar on mine.

I looked at the F sport in person, and there is actually a small gap in that black plastic that fills the hole where the fog lamp would be-- it's a big enough gap that you could easily get wiring through it without cutting. I'm still not yet sure how I want to approach mounting a light there though-- I'm thinking there will be some trial and error on my part

I think you don't Visit the 4GS section often....

If they don't fix this.. I will HAVE to again with OEM parts..!!!!


Like I did this past Spring:

Official Worlds 1st: USDM 2013 GS350 F-Sport w/JDM Fog Lamps Installed, Video Inside!
