Spec-D® - Factory Style Fog Lights

For your safety and piece-of-mind your best decision is always to have automotive experts perform difficult installations. If you feel capable you may, or may not, install something to professional and/or legal standards, so weigh your capabilities, options, and expectations carefully when considering projects. Pros: I install Spec-D Fog Lights, from CARiD, last Saturday afternoon in my driveway. After removing the Toyota CE plugs from the bumper, the Spec-D hardware fit snugly in place with the removal of only two small plastic covers under the car. The electrical harness was in two sections, four straight-forward connections under the hood, and four connections inside the car. *I disconnected the battery and came back to that connection last, after finding that a fog light circuit actually existed in the CE (multi-meter). The small fuse box near the steering wheel is where I added an add-a-circuit fuse(so easy), instead of splicing into ignition wires. One wire (yellow) was fished through an existing firewall grommet. When completed, I actually had two fuses in the circuit, and that circuit was controlled by the ignition switch. I didn't have to remove any major body parts (plus), or solder any splices. I still have to aim the lights one evening soon, but they work just fine. Cons: The instructions were somewhat ambiguous, but the harness made sense and facilitated the job. The light-to-light portion of the harness was a little tight and could use an extra inch or two. The fog light switch sat to deep in the factory dash hole and jammed in the on position when pushed in. I cut back the top and bottom of the inner portions of the factory switch hole (about 3/16") and put a plumbing gasket over the back of the switch and reinstalled it. It worked perfect, and sat in the hole securely without jamming. I received the lights from CARiD, at the US/CDN border, within a couple of days of ordering them. The box had green tape across the top that said "Inspected by Homeland Security." (I guess their helping to protect us Canadians too). I walked the box and invoice through Canadian Customs where I was told to "Have a nice day." Everything was in perfect condition when received. As a first time customer of CARiD I was pleased with the way they assisted my purchase and delivered the product. The product was exactly as advertised and appears to be of OEM quality, but without the price. The buy safe Guarantee was an added bonus. I would definitely shop at CARiD's online site again for my automotive needs. CR All-and-all I am happy with the end result - especially the aesthetics, and the money I saved. The driveway groping and a couple of minor scrapes on the knuckles was well worth it.

Lights fit very well, brightness is great and looks a very good. Only problem is that no instructions came with it at all and the set had to be wired. Took a lot loinger than it should.

Like I said I wouldn’t say not to buy these considering you’re getting what you pay for in terms of material quality. But I do have to say, Spec-D has gotta step up their game with quality control. I sent them back the first time because they didn’t have the chrome bevel as stated, waited about a month, and still got the same ones I did the first time. I was mildly disappointed personally, but that’s me. I could’ve raised hell, not to mention the fact that when I got them the second time it looked like they had taken them apart and not put them back together properly. The left light was in the right bezel and the right was in the left. It was also missing a nut and bolt holding the light fixture into the bezel. Again, I really didn’t care too much at this point so I threw them on anyways, but I’m still missing one of three screws on both left and right bezels that’s hold the lights in place. I will surely be investing in a higher quality light fixture in the future for aesthetics seeing as these are cheap projectors. The light bulbs are super dull and have a very warm hue. The only reason I mention this is because it stated to be a cool blue. Overall, they work, and the wiring was simple and fun to set up. A good learning experience to say the least as a beginner when it comes to wiring. No instructions tho, just kinda went out on a limb. I would like to hear back from Spec-D at some point, maybe to have them understand my experience so that it doesn’t happen to anyone else. Cause I know if they kept this up, they would have a lot of unhappy customers. Especially with their more expensive products. If you’re on a budget or just don’t care too much and don’t mind false advertising, then this is the product for you!! Overall I would say, Quality: 3/10 Customer service: 2/10 Functionality: 9/10

These come with 0 installation instructions, the "installation guide" on the page is for a completely different system than these use, it looks like a general thing and these are completely different, they look like cheap junk installed, fitment is awful, everything was smooth sailing until I got to actually putting them in and then it all went down hill. Don't make something and then sell it without including instructions on how to actually install it. There are so many wires that just go nowhere and give you no idea what they're supposed to be hooked to. It's garbage.

Very awesome fog lights. If there is a gap you will need fog light bezel. (Same review just added picture).

Fits perfectly, will add if you don't have a fog light bezel there will be a gap.

I love my new fog lights. I can't wait till night time just to turn them on.

Got my fog lights and I loved them. I recently bought ice blue lights off eBay, can’t wait to see how they comes out.

The fog light fit perfect and works very well, looks like new!

I paid a pro to install them. He said it was easy. Love the way they look. Price was awesome. They look bad*ss!! Also as with the matching head lights I had to install brighter/hotter bulbs as the factory ones are not bright enough. I like them a lot!!
