    What is the best brand of HID ballast fog lights to buy? I have been looking at GTR, is there a better product?

    Will the XB LED's give substantial more light than the factory bulbs?

    Since we are talking morimotos I have a question I got a set of theses and I’m very handy with a wrench being I own a auto body shop. They lights are plug and play but they don’t mount into the housing correctly they are upside down anyone else notice this ?

    Hell yeah! I love mine, I got mine from Headlight Revolution in case you're wondering where I got mine from. There is no comparison in the amount of light output of the Morimoto XB Fogs compared to the stock halogen fogs. Easy install, plug and play, and don't forget to realign the beams before using them out on the road and blinding oncoming traffic.

    Yes. I have noticed that as well. Mine are mounted upside down, but I aligned them and they work perfectly. No problems with light output or beam pattern. As long as you are okay with the name (in super tiny print on the lens) being upside down, then you should be perfectly fine.

    Really? The cutoff on mine seems fine. I think aligning the beams plays a big factor in how the cutoff looks. I could be wrong, but when I spoke with a Morimoto rep, he said it looked fine.

    See how it is tilted and the larger part of the cut off shadow is at the bottom

    Doesn't someone make a light pod that fits in the stock fog light housing that costs less than $200?

    Finally checked my Morimotos fog lights (gen 2) and they are correctly positioned. Name is not upside down. @Theyfzman

    I joined to see what is possible
    sorry to thread jack but anyone have a picture of where the factory fog light switch is? My 07 didn't come with fog lights and I was wondering if i were to add them, what/where would I have to run the lines and install a switch.
