Photos of cutoff and pattern please?
I'm still searching for a good fitment fog lights. So far, member experiences tells it is hit and miss with all other brands being used on here.
If this is a good fit, plan to change to 60W H11 LED and get an oem button from toyota for around $50. Never seen a good after market button before.
When you said you used OEM light switch, do you mean you tapped to the DRL lights?

The lightbulb that came with it is Suprisingly very bright! I'll be uploading a dash cam video soon when I remember With a before fogs and after fogs installed. But then again that's also because my headlights are tinted
Ill be switching to a 55W sylvannia ZXE this week for a "whiter light"
The light output is based on the h11 bulb you buy

I have the spyder fog lights and the fitment was perfect for me. Based on the pictures here it looks like the beam color are pretty close to the spyder ones that I have. I'm not a fan of the fog light covers for this set though.

Remember, your light and beam is based on the lightbulb you put in! Direct plug and play, simple.
You can literally take out and plug in a different lightbulb. The one they gave me is actually very bright and wide while driving but doesn't project as far. That is why I am changing the bulbs (and also because I want 5/6k colors)

Hmmm learn something new everyday.
But from own personal experience, I had the OEM headlight lightbulb replaced with the OSRAM CBI d4s bulbs (philips were too Blue to me, I wanted a straight white) . It made a huge difference and projected at least an extra 10 feet (4300k stock to about 5500 CBI osram). It just didn't shoot as wide as OEM

I agree that the light (brightness/color temp) and beam is dependent on the type of bulb. But if you replace the H11 halogen bulbs that were included w/ another set of 5/6k halogen bulbs, the projected distance will remain the same. The only difference will be the color temperature. But if you replace it with an HID kit or LED H11 replacement then that's a different story.
Some H11 LED's the same shade as the DRL would be PERFECT. I had these in my honda Accord fogs. However because the housing was reflective they were far too bright I only used them on dark roads with no oncoming traffic.

At the price these are worth the shot. I see no reason to put HID in the fogs when even the low/high beam is LED.

Responding to this: "Remember, your light and beam is based on the lightbulb you put in! Direct plug and play, simple."
Eh, not really how that works.
The projection is based on lens/reflector/projector design (called projection unit) in combination with bulb placement. It's extremely critical and costly done properly. Manufactures have 7 and 8 figures locked up in proprietary trade secret information on exact bulb/projection design systems. It's a critical science. Not as simple as tossing whatever you want in whatever you want to get good results.
Anyway I saw this too, on eBay. The actual projectors themselves look similar to Ford Fusion projectors (known quality candidate for HID plug and play). The design of the cover looks kinda chintzy for a Lexus. On eBay they do sell the covers (OEM style) separately now. but not much cheaper than OEM ones.
Still searching for that optimum fog solution for our cars.
Lexus gave us CRAPPY proprietary fog light holes in the F sport bumper. Does not align well at all with known/traditional Toyota/Lexus standard fogs theyve been using 10 years + (or such as on the IS non F-Sport models). GREAT options for those, but so far, hacky options for F Sport owners.

^^ True.
Beam pattern are not associated to the light bulb. This may be true for reflector housing but not Projectors.
With cheap projector lens, the light bounce in between the layers of glass and creates scattered beam patterns (yes, plural).
The better ones focus the light into a single beam and this is very hard to accomplish.
I don't expect these cheap kits to have a nice pattern so still a bit hesitant to pull the trigger.

Not sure why i'm seeing that people state the Spyder Brand ones have horrible fitment but when i look at photos of it online it is a direct copy of the OEM JDM ones down to everything as if it had 3d Scanned it to make it.
But i've also not personally held a set of Spyder in person.

Installed them today. Fitment is MUCH better than the Spyder ones. Very one small and minor gap. The adjustment hole is very handy, just stick in a Phillips and adjust it any way you want.
You're paying $140 for the covers, wiring, and housing really since the light bulbs are changeable which was a HUGE PLUS for me.
The h11 bulbs that came with it is 4300k so theyre daytime lights - yellowish. Will be getting 6000k ones soon.

Did you had to make any modification or they bolt right on? I'm thinking of removing the fog light support bracket and attach the fog light to the bumper.
Any tip on removing the fog light support bracket? After remove 3 - 10mm bolts and Phillips screw on the bottom left (for driver side light), I still unable to remove that support bracket.
Thanks
