Is that why I've been looking for the Fog Light Switch on my car and cant find one? (I've only had it for about 3 Days now, I just bought it.)
So.. Are there even a place for bulbs in them, or are they fake, plastic lights, all-together?

Kind'of a bummer if you ask me.. This is a Lexus.

There's definitely a bulb in place of that light (It's there for a different function, That's all)...Turn your left blinker on and watch as your lower left cornering light comes on (Same thing for the right one)...There is a thread floating around here on how to modify your cornering lights into "Faux" foglights...and from what I understand, it's a very popular modification...But yeah, The foglight switch is usually found on the instrument lightwand as a "double-clicking wrap-around" type of switch on 95+ models.

Looks like Joel has some followers here.

Personally, I think 1997+ and its derivative kits such as the Autocouture and Wald are the best looking kits for our cars, hands down. Hopefully I will get my stuff together before mid Decemeber

I love my '95, however I like the 97+ front/rear/sideskirts. '95-'96 still has the best tail lights and rear wing.... I'm surprised we don't see more 97+ owners going back to the 92-96 style wing.....

So I have the 97+ front/rear/sideskirts+genuine '92-'96 wing awaiting some paint!!! (wish someone on here would have told me the aftermarket '92-'96 wings have stupid divets in them from the led brake light, so I'm selling it and I paid a boatload for the paint... )

One thing I did notice is the resurgence of the '95-'96 line next to the foglights.... I think I've seen this but with LED's in the newer porsche's and I want to say Volvo coupe???

As the young people say, that white 95 is tight.

Wow looks great CrazySC300, The 97+ side skirts goes really well with the 95-96 front bumper with the oem lip! I wonder how would it look if you add the rear 97+ lip...

Based on the some criticism I've recieved...The '97+ rear bumper and panel extensions "could" be next to be slapped on...The question now is..."Where can I find a set locally at a decent price?" Still though, I ain't too sure about those parts yet, But we'll see...

P.S With a styling cue taken (More like "copied") from Peter, I've decided as well, to have the lip painted to match the rest of the car...Will post pics soon when the lip is done.
