Default Fog Light Chrome Trim kit - where to buy?

Anyone know where in States I can order chrome trim kit to replace factory matching color fog lamp trim? I found distributor in Japan who advertised but item out of stock. See pics from their we site http://www.jzsinternational.com/serv...50h-FOG/Detail

For $369, I'm sure you could find the fog lamp housing at an auto wreckers and have them chromed out for a fraction of the cost.

No, it's a completely different front bumper cover that also has the extra horizontal cooling slot and wider grill opening.

I can't see the smaller pictures close up but they look chunkier and really not as nice as the ones on the 450h IMO.

Yeah I have always wondered if the chrome bit of the RXh can be put onto the 350, but that OP's one is a bit too much chrome for my taste.

As a side note, Ive come to the realization that the extra slit for hybrid grill is more for differentiation than actual cooling. I mean how much more cooling can that extra slit provide when there is an upper and lower grill right next to it

The 450h's fog lights are cylindrical and therefore look better chromed than the 350's. I had thought about those but, too much chrome and the shape is wrong, my opinion.

After one of my fog lights was shattered two weeks after we owned the car (expensive repair btw) I put blue Lamin-X film over the lenses to add some protection against further breakage. It actually tones down the chromy aspect of the reflector and is a nice contrast to the Black Sapphire Pearl paint. Advice: Protect those lenses because you have to replace the whole light assembly if the lens is broken.

I have them on mine now and chose the electric blue tint. And they're thick enough to at least give a stone a hard time. So far, no problems.
