What are some good fog lights for the coupe and where can i get a good quality one?

i would recommend the oem foglights too.

when i looked into this (recently), the oem price scared me away, and i went the ebay route instead.

what i did was i ordered a set of "oem foglights" from ebay, and bought the wiring harnesses from the dealer. i figure i came out ahead by about $100 going this route.

well, i just finished installing it today. the true oem harnesses fit real nicely together. the ebay "oem" pieces fit about 80% of the time.

lesson learned: if you wanna do the same and save a few bucks (at $150 there really is no point going aftermarket), you can do it and it works. if you are ok with spending the extra $, then get the oem kit, beacuse it will likely fit better.

dont go oem fogs

not only are they overprices but they will crack.

for the same price u can get retro fogs and then pay 100 bucks for a hid kit.

^those are cheap ebay ones which would surely crack sooner or later.

nothing better than oem but wouldnt pay that much penny for ALMOST same quality as ebay. look for K2's. they're pretty amazing for the bucks.

This also applies to OEM, which is 2-3x more expensive.
